Documentation for special copy defines

[Robert_G]

I would like to have some little Documentation for the defines in a Special copy definition.
e.g. for C++/C# you used:

#define " = \"
#define \ = \
#define char(9) = \t
...

I want to make a little Copy-Def to translate a Select Statement with parameters to a cursor:

#define char(32): = char(32)

  cursor curCopied(iParam1 in varchar2) is
    <line_1>
    <line_*>
    <line_n>;

My Problem is how to concatenate strings and char(x). (I want ":iSomeParam" changed to "iSomeParam")

thx in advance

The special copy file syntax is described in chapter 16.6 in the User's Guide. It does not allow you to replace words though. It can only add fixed text to each line from the selection.
