The article by Steven Feuerstein (thanks Denis and Herald) says don't rely on %NOTFOUND when using bulk collect :

When you are using BULK COLLECT and collections to fetch data from your

It doesn't say why it works at the end of the loop though, but I'll leave it there. Just use %count on the collection instead. It reads better any way I reckon.

Thanks for all the feedback,
Cheers
Tony
