Be patient with the newbie...

I have a query in Oracle that I am trying to have the parameters used in the retrieval to show up as part of the select.

Essentially I have an array that is passed in through PowerBuilder and several other arguments. Its a string array that I need to have returned back as part of the results.

The Procedure is pasted below, though its rather long and not mine (I am just coming onto this project).

The :BU parameter has to be returned to the results from the Select so that it may be displayed in the datawindow as a string.

ie: The BU array Parameter returned as a string in the select as BU[1] + ', ' + BU[2] ', ' + BU[3] ... etc.

Many thanks in advance for this and the surplus of questions and advice that I will be needing in the near future.
