Thanks, Willy.

I'm actually getting it in iSQL when I run a function. The line in
question looks like:

execute immediate 'update vwPopulateOCC set '||varExecSQL||' where
current of curTempTable';

vwPopulateOcc is a view to a temp table. The view and the temp table
all have granted all permissions to the dba user, which I log in as.

Any ideas?

Thanks again for your help!
Eric
