hello
having a little trouble with assigning values to a particular variable that i need for my button trigger. I Understand that you can assign multiple values to a variable that has a varchar or char data type....
is there a way to assign multiple values to a variable that has a 'number' data type?? I need this for my 'where' clause

declare
	usergrade varchar(4) := 'pass';
	user_unitcode number(6) := ;--needs three unit codes to equal pass

Varying elements in IN list on AskTom might be what you are looking for.

If you read the whole discussion, you'll probably find a global temporary table (GTT) solution of the problem, i.e. you'd insert these values into a GTT and use it in your WHERE clause as

-- insert some records into a GTT
insert into gtt (id) values (1);
-- or possibly
insert into gtt (id) values (:form_block.some_item);
...

-- now use them in WHERE clause:
select ...
from some_table
where id in (select id from gtt)
  and ...
