    Hi Friends,

    Can anyone please explain the use of a double ampersand &&.

    Can you please decode the following example and explain the use of && :

    WHILE v_price < &&p_count LOOP
    v_amount := v_amount + 1;
    v_prive := v_amount * &&pct_increase;
    END LOOP;

    Many Thanks

    Suresh

    you use a double ampersand (&&) if you want to REUSE the variable value without prompting the user to input the value each time.

    so, if you have '&&salary' and you put '50000', then in your script you can keep using '&&salary' and it will continue to use the '50000' that was entered at the beginning.

    looks like you have '&&' below for some type of table or tablespace creation script or something like that ...

    hope that helps.
