Hello,
I created bind variables in a dataset and would like to reference them in a second dataset using "where 1=1". what do I need to put after each variable in the first for the reference to hold?

and Chris said...

Nothing?

Once you've bound the variable references to it in the same session will still have the same value:

SQL> var b1 number;
SQL> exec :b1 := 1;

PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.

SQL> select :b1 from dual;

       :B1
----------
         1

SQL> select :b1 from dual where :b1 = 1;

       :B1
----------
         1
