We could finally display excel column names from a user specified Excel filename and worksheet name, Courtesy: some very useful information from this forum and other sites....

Following is the code which I would like to share with you....

--Procedure to get the first row data from passed-on parameters

--Any suggestions/improvements regarding the code will be very helpful

procedure insert_rg_xlcols
(
in_xlname varchar2, --Excel filename along with its path passed by calling event_trigger/procedure/function
in_wsname varchar2, --Excel worksheet name within <in_xlname> passed by calling event_trigger/procedure/function
in_lename varchar2 --List Item name whose list elements will display column names from <in_wsname>
) is

--Declare handles to ole2 objects
application ole2.obj_type;
workbooks ole2.obj_type;
workbook ole2.obj_type;
worksheets ole2.obj_type;
worksheet ole2.obj_type;
cell ole2.obj_type;
args ole2.obj_type;

--Variables used to fetch cell values from the excel worksheet
v_RowNum integer;
v_ColNum integer;
v_Buffer varchar2(10000);

--List Item Element Row count
v_LERowCnt integer;

--Variables used to manipulate record group created at runtime
v_rgid recordgroup;
v_gc1 groupcolumn;
v_gc2 groupcolumn;
v_RGRowCnt integer;
v_RGRowNum integer;

file_not_found exception;
pragma exception_init(file_not_found,-302000);

begin

------------------------- get excel column names into Record Group (rg1) ----------------------------------------
application := ole2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
ole2.set_property(application,'Visible','False');

v_RGRowNum := v_RGRowNum+1;

end loop;
