Simple method could be using the forms status line:

you can display a counter or you can make a kind of progress bar using for instance dots
eg.

Declare

   ...
   progress_item varchar2(60) := null;
  ...
Begin
  ...

  • Your loop ... progress_item := progress_item||'.'; /* check that it does not exceed 60 chars */ message (progress_item,NO_ACKNOWLEDGE); synchronize; ...
  • end of your loop
