Hi I need help.

I have a column col_1 in a table tbl_A of varray names INSTRING WHICH inturn is defined of the an object type OSTRING, size 8.

OSTRING has 2 attributes
languageid of the type number(4,0)
and
string of the type varchar2(255).

from this table I want to compare string to an input parameter.

I was trying to reference it as follows:

where tbl_A.col_1.string = inputparam;

I get the error, it is thinking col_1 is a table.

then I tried using VALUE clause as follows:

where VALUE(tbl_A.col_1.string)= inputparam;

i also tried using DREF, WITHOUT SUCCESS.

iF ANYBODY CAN HELP, I'll really appreciate that.
