thanks for your reply.
i want to generate a report as shown below from a ora 8i table

this is much clear format of the report and table structure.

i have used '|' to divide to columns
table structure(category,account)
two fields

1.category- one category
2.account- one account

category account
c1 | a1
c1 | a2
c1 | a3
... | ...
.. | ...
c1 | a150

c2 | b1
c2 | b2
c2 | b2
... ...
.... ...
..... ...

report format should be
two columns
1.category - one accounts
2.account - all the accounts falls under a one
category.
fix no.of accts in one raw
category | accounts
-------- --------
c1 | a1 a2 a3
c1 | a4 a5

c2 | b1 b2 b3
c2 | b4 b5 b6
c2 | b7 b8 b9

there are more than 100 accounts for each category.
there the number of accotnts in a report raw should
a unique no. in my example 3
thanks in advance.

write a function and call that function from sql.

1) function code:

create or replace function f1(v varchar2) return varchar2 is

cursor c1 is select * from cat_act where category=v;
v1 varchar2(200);
begin
for crec in c1 loop
if c1%rowcount=1 then
v1 := v1||crec.account;
else
v1:= v1||','||crec.account;
end if;
end loop
return v1;
end;

2)sql stmt:

select category,f1(category) accounts from cat_act group by category;
