My problem is:

Suppose a table has a column name 'code' with values

code
-------
113
1124
543
6546
786
333
6646
553

Now suppose i've to pass a 10 digit number to a function
whose initial 3 or 4 (or may be 5) digits are similar to one of the rows of the column...........

eg:

a given number is 11345646
i'll first search it in the table---not found???
i'll trim the last digit and find again...not found??
repeat until found......

the number found in the end needs to be returned..

now the problem is if i use sql%notfound in a loop the control jumps to the exception section.......

SO ANYONE HAS ANY SOLUTION??????

Please read and follow OraFAQ Forum Guide, especially "How to format your post?" section.
Make sure that lines of code do not exceed 80 characters when you format. Use the "Preview Message" button.
Please always post your Oracle version (4 decimals).

Post your current function as well as the test you made (copy and paste your screen).

Regards
Michel

You can do it using SQL in a single statement.
Do it using where instr(????,????) = 1
Then select the max of the found values.
I leave it to you to finish this.
