Fair point well made.  However, wrapping it in PL/SQL doesn't seem to make any 
difference....

SSQL> r
  1  declare
  2      language my_table_ext.language%type;
  3  begin
  4      for lrec in ( select * from my_table_ext ) loop
  5           language := upper(lrec.language);
  6          if language = 'BABEL 17' then
  7                  dbms_output.put_line('Hello Tarek');
  8          else
  9                  dbms_output.put_line('Hello world');
 10          end if;
 11      end loop;
 12* end;
Hello Tarek
Hello world

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> 

So I think it must be something peculiar in the specific details of Jack's 
program.
