load each set of values into a collection and then do:
If collection_a = collection_b THEN ...
no looping required.
Here is an example that you can adapt: use the SELECT shown at the bottom in
place of the FROM DUAL parts.
CREATE OR REPLACE type integer_table is table of integer;
DECLARE
vendor_key_table integer_table;
vendor_key_table2 integer_table;
CURSOR tst
IS
SELECT purch_order, SUM (dollars),
CAST (COLLECT (TO_NUMBER (vendor_key)) AS integer_table)
FROM (SELECT 1 purch_order, 3 dollars, 435235 vendor_key
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 1 purch_order, 8 dollars, 123452 vendor_key
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 purch_order, 7 dollars, 433738 vendor_key
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 purch_order, 4 dollars, 383738 vendor_key
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 2 purch_order, 5 dollars, 387118 vendor_key
FROM DUAL)
GROUP BY purch_order;

IS
SELECT purch_order, SUM (dollars),
CAST (COLLECT (TO_NUMBER (vendor_key)) AS integer_table)

v_purch_order NUMBER;

CLOSE tst;
CLOSE tst2;
END;
/* using a SUM function but saving the detail from each row */
/* this technique could be used instead of procedural logic which
manually sums the desired column and then tests if the grouping
column value has changed. There is no need for 'save previous values'
or 'if first_time' or 'if last_time' code
