List,

i'v been trying out a simple use of dbms_utility.comma_to_table procedure the procedure takes a comma delimited string of values and returns the individual values in an array

the procedure works fine when i pass a stirng like 'A,B' but error is returned when i pass '1,2'

the OUT parameter is and array of varchar2

ResultTab dbms_utility.uncl_array;

in_str := '1,2';

dbms_utility.comma_to_table(in_str, strLen, ResultTab);

does not work.... ORA-00931: missing identifier

what is the workaround ??

TIA
Rahul
