And this is what I see on my database:

Code:

test@ORA11G> var x varchar2(30)
test@ORA11G>
test@ORA11G> select z into :x from t where y = "b";
select z into :x from t where y = "b"
                                  *
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00904: "b": invalid identifier
 
test@ORA11G>
test@ORA11G>

We are back to square one !
You will have to start reading my posts completely and understand them thoroughly if you wish you gain something out of this.

I usually get tired saying the same thing again and again and again... ad infinitum...

That doesn't appear to be the case below -

Code:
Count = BEGIN select mod_cd into :n from report.cube where cube_cd = "LNR_ALL"; END;

(1) Use the "code" tags to show the contents of your scripts. Use it to separate your code from the text of your post.

(2) If your script name is "lr_cube_tst.sh" and it is in the current directory, and if you pass the argument "misdev" to it, then show the output of the following 3 commands:

Code:
cat -n ./lr_cube_tst.sh
 
od -bc ./lr_cube_tst.sh
 
./lr_cube_tst.sh misdev

Of course, put the commands as well as their output within "code" tags.

Check the FAQ of this forum to figure out how to use "code" tags, if you don't know it already.
