Wendy,
If I understood you correctly,
You need to create a cursor, then scan it in a loop and have column(s) of
each row concatenated to a variable. The variable I feel has to be a
varchar2 with enough size to hold the data of all the rows.
Just curious, apparently this does not seem to be a good thing to do, if you
could kindly share why do you want to do this.
HTH!
Aleem,

Hi Wendy,
Here's an example from a PL/SQL procedure:
inputFromDate := startMonth||'/'||startDay||'/'||startYear;
The '/' is a delimiter, if you don't want one just use:
inputFromDate := startMonth||startDay||startYear;
The individual data elements in this case were user input on a web
browser, but the same syntax applies if the elements had been selected
from tables.
Hope this helps.
