Joe,

What do you mean by "space in policy_num"? Leading, trailing, right in the middle? Right in the middle shouldn't be a problem, otherwise you may have to trim. All depends on where you extraneous spaces are: in the table or in the bind variable, because if it's in the table and you have no way to fix data entry you should probably consider, if the table is big, a function-based index.

I have a program that has these lines in it:

SQL_Stmt := 'DELETE FROM renewal_expacc_data WHERE policy_num = :1';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE SQL_Stmt USING stage_data_rec.policy_num;

Policy_num is a character string. Everything seems to work fine unless there
is a space in policy_num. Am I missing something obvious? Is there an easy
way to quote the string for a bind variable that may contain spaces? Should I
even have to do that??

Thanks in advance for any ideas/suggestions.
