You can do this in plain old SQL.

SQL> select
2 process_date
3 ,sum(ws.reqstd_amt * pt.a) as "A Dollars"
4 ,sum(ws.reqstd_amt * pt.e) as "E Dollars"
5 ,sum(ws.reqstd_amt * pt.i) as "I Dollars"
6 ,sum(ws.reqstd_amt * pt.k) as "K Dollars"
7 ,sum(ws.reqstd_amt * pt.v) as "V Dollars"
8 from
9 not_real_name ws
10 ,aeikv_pivot pt
11 where ws.userid_alias = 'DISP TOTAL'
12 and ws.disp_code = pt.value
13 group by process_date
14 /

The pivot table conists of X rows with X columns defined. All column
values are 0 except for the Nth column on the Nth which are 1 so that
the 1's form a diagnal from the upper left to the lower right where all
rows are selected.

SQL> select * from aeikv_pivot

Analytic queries can be used to do this as well as the connect by
clause.
