Thank you Jie for your help. I am bit confused about how it works. I want for
each row , obtained by select statment,  get certain values and then do some
calculations and out put that resulst  egfor rec IN select title, dcount from songs where  artist='xyz'
tcount:=tcount+rec.dcount;
 
END LOOP;return tcount;
would this work ?
Thanks again for your help.
Regards, Najm
