You may create a PL/SQL Package, either stored
or in Forms or Reports. In the Package
you may declare "public" variables which will
be persistent, i.e. stay "alive".
In Reports, you may also use :Global variables. They are very useful in the right circumstances, however, they are always character, maximum of 256 characters.
Also, It is possible to make "pseudo-arrays" using globals, and we did so quite nicely, but it is a bit of work to make easy and seemless to use.
Good Luck
