1.Lexical Parameters are placeholders for text that you
embed in a SELECT statement. You can use lexical
references to replace the clauses appearing after SELECT,
FROM, WHERE, GROUP BY, ORDER BY, HAVING, CONNECT BY, and
START WITH.

You cannot make lexical references in a PL/SQL statement.
You can, however, use a bind reference in PL/SQL to set the
value of a parameter that is then referenced lexically in
SQL.

example:
we can use (&)lexical parameter in where cluse and inside
from clause and group by clause i enclose the query used in
reports 6i.

select
decode (UPPER(:p_order_by),'CUSTOMER',NULL,
types.cust_trx_type_id ) dummy_id_inv,
decode (UPPER
(:p_order_by),'CUSTOMER',NULL,types.name)
dummy_type_inv,
