I'll have to disagree with not using commit within a loop.

If you identify what a transaction is within your code, and 
write it accordingly, using commit where appropriate, you
will not get ORA-1002 or ORA-1555, at least not due 
to your own code.

I've written a number of routines to do just that, and helped
developers straighten out their procedures so that they
would quit getting ORA-1555.

Putting commit outside of the loop is simply not practical
for a procedure that is modifying a large amount of data,
and/or takes a long time to do it.

The code below that I originally commented on will not
cause ORA-1555.


begin
      loop

           update reg.docalert_responses@ncp
              set campaign_response_handled = 1
           where campaign_response_handled != 1
              and rownum <= 100
              and docalert_response_id in (
                   select docalert_response_id
                   from docalert_emails_050401@ncc
                   where sent = 1
               );

           commit;

           exit when sql%notfound;
      end loop;
end;
