Steve,

Is that 'inside the block' or 'outside the block'? I assume inside. therefore try:

accept var_a char prompt 'Insert your variable'

declare
local_var varchar2(100) := &var_a;
begin
....
end;
/

I'm am trying to use an accept statement to grab some info from the user in an SQL script,
and then use that in a subsequent PL/SQL block. I can do the Accept ok, but can't sem to
access the variable onside the block. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks in advance.

Steven H.
