I need to use collections as below, but want to print the output dynamically instead of specifying PL01, PL02, PL03...as this is going to be bigger list. If not possible using RECORD type, how can this be achieved using collections.

DECLARE

  TYPE RT IS RECORD (ITEM  VARCHAR2(20),
                     PL01  NUMBER,
                     PL02  NUMBER,
                     PL03  NUMBER,
                     PL04  NUMBER,
                     PL05  NUMBER);

  TYPE TT IS TABLE OF RT;

  MY_REC RT;
  MY_TAB TT := TT();

BEGIN

  MY_TAB.EXTEND;

  MY_TAB(1).ITEM := 'ABC';
  MY_TAB(1).PL01 := '40';
  MY_TAB(1).PL02 := '42';
  MY_TAB(1).PL03 := '44';
  MY_TAB(1).PL04 := '46';
  MY_TAB(1).PL05 := '48';

  MY_TAB.EXTEND;

  MY_TAB(2).ITEM := 'DEF';
  MY_TAB(2).PL01 := '60';
  MY_TAB(2).PL02 := '62';
  MY_TAB(2).PL03 := '64';
  MY_TAB(2).PL04 := '66';
  MY_TAB(2).PL05 := '68';


  FOR I IN 1..2
  LOOP
    Dbms_Output.PUT_LINE(MY_TAB(I).ITEM||' - '||MY_TAB(I).PL01||' - '||MY_TAB(I).PL02||' - '||
                         MY_TAB(I).PL03||' - '||MY_TAB(I).PL04||' - '||MY_TAB(I).PL05);
  END LOOP;

END;

The code you've posted is pure PL/SQL with no references to anything forms.
So how is forms involved?

Really? My last post (which is the last one in the topic) never received a feedback.

This one receives answers from John and Bill who never received feedback.

This one receives a solution from msol25 but you never fed back and thanked him.

And the one that ends with a post from you that says "I will go through the documentation link and do changes on my mv and feedback.", I fail to find the promised feedback.

You should post the final solution to your problem to help people who will reach your topics.

You have to just reply to his question, is this or no relater to Forms and how?

And are you really sure your database is 11.2?

This particular message is not related to Forms and should have been posted under pl/sql section.

Since i need to push excel data into the collections from the forms 6i, i am trying to create the TYPE in the database and to access from forms. I tried the above as well as table inside a Record and both had same error.

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE PRC_LST IS TABLE OF NUMBER;
  2  /

Type created.

SQL> CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE RT IS RECORD (ITEM VARCHAR2(20), PLR PRC_LST);
  2  /

Warning: Type created with compilation errors.

SQL> SHOW ERR
Errors for TYPE RT:

RECORD is strictly PL/SQL type and can't be used in SQL. Use OBJECT type instead.

Thanks SY, i was able to created as on Object.

I need to explain my Business Scenario, to make clear on what i am trying to achieve out of this.

Business scenario : Having a item price list in an excel sheet as price list code in the first row (each column refers to a price list) and different items in each row. The number of price list and the items will differ every time. Now i need to populate this excel in collections in same format (Table with items in rows and price list code as columns) and use it to update the correct price list.

Forms 6i is not supporting nested tables as well as schema level user defined types.

What other ways to achieve this ?

He did - it got moved here because it wasn't obvious how forms was involved.
And it still isn't obvious, there's nothing in that description that explains how or why forms needs to be involved.

I am using collections for first time and i didn't expect it to have some restrictions in the forms. Still i posted it under the forms as i have mentioned in the previous message already.

You need to explain why forms is involved.
You still haven't done that.
You're not going to get useful answers until you do.

The end user of this application needs an interface to browse for the excel sheet that needs to be uploaded. This information is used to update the Pricelist. So iam using forms 6i to develop this interface.

So you want the form to have a dynamic number of columns as well?

The interface is just going to help the user to browse the excel file for upload and to initiate the upload process. There are no more fields required in the form itself.

I want to close this thread as of now and shall get back for further help in a new thread.

Thanks
