I have an Oracle Forms 6i form with a text field that I want users to be able to put in a list of numbers seperated by commas, eg 12345,67890,34567 etc.

From this list, I want to be able to use the list of numbers in an IN statement such as:

CURSOR c_policy IS
SELECT pe.cust_no,pe.policy_no
FROM POLICY_ENTITY pe
WHERE policy_no IN (:header.policy_no);

where :header.policy_no is my text field and policy_no is defined as a number.

When trying to run the form I get an ORA-01722 error due to the list not being recognised as a number. Is there an easy way around this?

Thanks in advance

The string when displayed is ####, ####, ####; with no quote marks. This is in a when-button-pressed trigger in a form. It appears to work when the list only has 1 number in it, but returns error ORA-01722 when I have more than 1 number in the list. Any reasonable suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
