It should not be too hard, you take the value and put a ~ on the end of it. Then you use INSTR (or whatever function your DB has) to find the location of the first ~ then you use SUBSTR(or whatever function your DB has) to pull out the value. So something like this list: one~two would be fed in then you do something like myList := myList || '~'; myStart := INSTR(myList, '~'); myEnd := INSTR(myList, '~', 2); myItem := SUBSTR(myList, myStart, myEnd-1); I just did that off the top of my head so might be flawed but should give the general idea. Then of course you need to plug that into a function you call from within the database.
