Hi,

   I still don't get. How can I get the varchar OUT parameter in the 
application? For Example



CREATE OR REPLACE

Function getOutVarchar(outvarchar OUT varchar2) RETURN NUMBER

IS

BEGIN

   outvarchar:='This is Out String';

   RETURN 1;

END getOutVarchar;



iris=> SELECT getOutVarchar('outVar');

 getoutvarchar

---------------

             1

(1 row)


My question is how can I Select "outVar" so that it is available in my 
application as a resultset.



Thanks

Ehsan

name your cursor:  also, remember that your cursor is only good for
duration of transaction.

outCursor := 'outcur';

FETCH all FROM outcur;
