Can anybody help me to declare a variable having the similar propery of ‘STATIC DATA TYPE IN C’. Means declare a variable and initialize it inside the procedure and called the procedure recursively but each time it is initializing the variable. I want any mechanism in PL/SQL that will make the variable like ‘static in C’.

Note:– Static varible in C :- This type of variable will be initialized once throughout it’s life time. If it is declared in a function then the life span is inside the function and till the function is not end it is retaining the value. It is initialized once.

Thanks
