Question

Do I need to specify the INTO parameter for every column I want sent out of the procedure?

If I have the following:

SELECT col1, col2, col3, col4
FROM
table
WHERE
col1 = 'something'

Do I need to specify INTO for each column?

Answer 1

yes , see example

 BEGIN 

    SELECT password                      , 
           active_flg                    , 
           lastname                      , 
           firstname                     , 
           gender_code                   , 
           birth_dttm                    
    INTO   p_password                      , 
           p_active_flg                    , 
           p_lastname                      , 
           p_firstname                     , 
           p_gender_code                   ,
