Question

Hi given below is my code. I need to create a view and get data in another cursor using data in the view. But when i execute my code , i am getting the error

What is the issue here? Thanks in advance.

declare

type tasks_rec is record(task_number varchar2(20));

You are trying to access a TABLE/VIEW that was created using a dynamic SQL in the same block where you SELECT it (Static SQL)

Every PL/SQL Block wold be compiled before execution. And while compilation rv_task_number_view was not available!

So, the SELECT needs to be dynamic as well!

  C2 SYS_REFCURSOR;

   OPEN C2 FOR 

    'SELECT ct.task_id,jtf_note_id,  jnv.notes,
           jnv.creation_date,jnv.last_update_date
        FROM
           jtf_notes_vl jnv,
           csf_ct_tasks ct,apps.rv_task_number_view rvt
        WHERE
            jnv.source_object_code = ''TASK'' 
            and ct.task_number = jnv.source_number
            and ct.task_number = rvt.task_number
            order by task_id, jtf_note_id';
