Hi Guys,

I have a situation where I need to access the column values from rowtype variable. However, the column names are dynamic.

below is sample code:
declare

Cursor c1 is select * from emp;
Cursor c2 is select column_name from xyztable;
v_c2 c2%rowtype;
v_str varchar2
v_value varchar2(200);

begin

for rec in c1
loop
open c2;---this cursor has column names like EMPLOYEE_ID, FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME etc.
loop
fetch c2 into v_c2;
exit when c2%notfound;

/* now lets say i want to access value of LAST_NAME from cursor c1, so I am writing below code, however it does not work as expected */

v_str:= 'rec.'|| v_c2.column_name; -- this will give me string like "rec.EMPLOYEE_ID"

v_value:=v_str;



end loop;

end loop;



end;
/

Plz help ASAP.Thanks.

DECLARE
CURSOR C1 IS SELECT *
FROM DEPT;

CURSOR C2 IS SELECT *
FROM EMP;

v_c2 C2%ROWTYPE;
v_str VARCHAR2(30);
v_res VARCHAR2(35);

BEGIN
OPEN C2;

FOR REC IN C1
LOOP
FETCH C2 INTO v_c2;
EXIT WHEN C2%NOTFOUND;
v_str := 'REC'||v_c2.ENAME;
v_res := V_STR;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('NAME'||v_c2.ENAME);
END LOOP;
CLOSE C2;
END;
