Re: PL/SQL help needed

I didn't say that anyone had to understand FORTRAN - just FORTRAN concepts. Concepts like records, sequential processing, etc. For a large number of MIS applications, the main gist of what they do is read a record, do something with the data, write a record, go back and do it again. Gygy's messages suggest that he doesn't understand the concept of records and loops.
