My original posting had a few lines truncated, so here I go again:

I'm looking at a PL/SQL script that goes like this

DECLARE
        Num1 NUMBER;

BEGIN
      Source_Data := '&1';

What's the purpose of having a VAR statement in front or Before of the Declare section? Is it used for bind-variables, is that what it is?

thx
maa
