I know this has got to be simple but I just can't find the right command.
In the select statement:
select T$argu
from Table
where T$argu
Like 'xyz%'
I want the output of that to be a variable that I can use else where.
TIA Ron

Hi,
In SQL-PLUS you can use the new_val command to keep the value in a variable for that particular session.
SQL> column T$argu new_val argu;
SQL> select T$argu from Table where T$argu
Like 'xyz%';
now you can use &argu to get the variable.....
like.........
SQL> insert into t1 values(&argu, ......
Bala.
