Greetings,
This should be an easy one for one of you PL/SQL experts. I'm not, so I am unsure how to code this up.
I have a Multi Selection page item and am passing the value of it to a PL/SQL routine as a parameter. I am able to use the value if I only pass my procedure one value, so I have it working. Just not with multi-values I need the code in the procedure to loop through the values. How do I code that up? The procedure is relatively short and is included below. p_cell is the multi-value parameter.
Oh yes... You probably need to know this. The values are coming in like this - 1-3:2-3:3-3:5:6
Also, the values are the x-y coordinates of a grid I have over an image on the page. The routine removes certain cells (1-3, etc.) from the grid. The grid is created using HTML, so I have to remove lines of HTML to remove a cell from the grid. Just in case that is helpful.
Thx, Tony
