How to prompt for user input in PL/SQL

77954Sep 3 2008 — edited Sep 3 2008
How do I prompt for user input in PL/SQL?

I am writing a piece of code where the user may choose, by clicking either of three buttons on an alert, to have the system assign a value to a variable, to input a value or to do neither?

If the user chooses to input the value I want to update a set of database fields with the value.

I have thought about showing a view where the value may be entered into a field displayed on that view. The value will be assigned to the variable by the user clicking a command button. The question I have in this case though, is whether, after the command button is clicked, control will be passed back to the code that called the view in the first place?
