   rg_name   VARCHAR2 (40) := 'DYNGRP';

   rg_id     RecordGroup;

   errcode   NUMBER;

BEGIN

   /*

   ** Make sure group doesn't already exist

   */

   rg_id := FIND_GROUP (rg_name);

 

   /*

   ** If it exists then delete it first then re-create it.

   */

   if not id_null(rg_id) then

     delete_group(rg_id);

   end if;

 

      rg_id :=

         CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY (

            rg_name, :txtqry);

   /*

   ** Populate the record group

   */

   errcode := POPULATE_GROUP (rg_id);

     clear_list('OLIST');

     populate_list('OLIST', 'DYNGRP');

END;
