I'm trying to use a local variable's value in another query in PLSQL package but every time the 2nd query is returning null value


BEGIN
    --{
        SELECT CONCAT(CONCAT('''',REPLACE(VALUE_1, ',', ''',''')),'''') into glv_v_PROC_FEE
        FROM TABLE_A  ;
        EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN   
        glv_v_PROC_FEE := ' ';
    --}
END;
dbms_output.put_line('glv_v_PROC_FEE: '||glv_v_PROC_FEE);   
BEGIN
    --{
        SELECT sum(ORDER) INTO  glv_v_PROCESSING_FEE_WITH_VAT
        FROM TABLE_B WHERE COL1 in (glv_v_PROC_FEE);
        EXCEPTION WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN   
        glv_v_PROCESSING_FEE_WITH_VAT := ' ';
        
    --}
END;
dbms_output.put_line('glv_v_PROCESSING_FEE_WITH_VAT: '||glv_v_PROCESSING_FEE_WITH_VAT);

Solution

  • You can't use such a value in IN; you'll have to split it to rows, such as

    SELECT sum(ORDER) INTO  glv_v_PROCESSING_FEE_WITH_VAT
    FROM TABLE_B 
    WHERE COL1 in (select regexp_substr(glv_v_PROC_FEE, '[^,]+', 1, level)
                   from dual
                   connect by level <= regexp_count(glv_v_proc_fee, ',') + 1
                  );
    

    On the other hand, why wouldn't you skip two queries and use just

    select sum(b.order)
      into glv_v_processing_fee_with_vat
      from table_b b join table_a a on a.value_1 = b.col1;
