Hi. Just checking the name_in built-in function and the example in Forms 9i.
declare
ptr_name VARCHAR2(40);
begin
...
IF Name_In( ptr_name ) IS NULL THEN
...
end;
Why would anyone need to do a name_in on ptr_name? Why this explicit use of name_in?
I understand that name_in can be used to do some nifty converting to char and so on, but isn't it overkill in this example? Or is is some coding habit from earlier days of Forms where things were different?
