ORA-14450: attempt to access a transactional temp table already in use

In my application, paging is supported with row retention feature. So when a row is selected and sorted on different column/different sort order I need to fetch the page under which the selected row appears. For this I have implemented the following.

Create a temporary table and using it in procedure

CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE test_nodes (nodenumber INTEGER) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS    CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE testPageData  			(nodeNumbers IN NUM_ARRAY,p_results OUT IDLIST)  AS                 BEGIN       FOR nodenum IN 1 .. nodeNumbers.count     LOOP        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'INSERT INTO test_nodes values         					(' || to_char(nodenum) || ')';     END LOOP;        EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'WITH rententiontab AS (select rownum num ,id,entity,' ||     'severity from (select id FROM EVENT,test_nodes where event.nodenumber=' ||     'test_nodes.nodenumber AND (severity = 1 OR severity=2 OR severity=3 OR' ||     ' severity=4 OR severity=5) order by ttime asc)),startNum as (select num'||     ' from rententiontab where id = 1248508), endNum as (select (num+3000) ' ||     ' num' from startNum), select * from (select * from rententiontab where' ||     ' num >= (select num from endNum)) where rownum <=(select num from ' ||     ' startNum)' BULK COLLECT INTO p_results;                             commit;  END;


When I execute the procedure I am getting the following error.
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-14450: attempt to access a transactional temp table already in use
ORA-06512: at "LARGENW.TESTPAGEDATA", line 24
ORA-06512: at line 1

Could not figure what is the rootcause.

Also is there any way we can achieve the same using SELECT statement without using WITH clause?I mean can we have a condition in where cluase for the inner query,something like this

select *   from (select rownum RN,A.*         from (select *               from event               where nodenumber =1 and (severity =1 or severity =2)               order by ttime asc) A) B   where b.RN >=( select RN from A where id=1248508)


Also let me know if you have suggestion or correction with the procedure

Aug. 22, 1962: First Nuke-Powered Cargo Ship Docks

1962: NS Savannah, the world's first nuclear-powered cargo-passenger ship, completes its maiden voyage.

In a world terrified by the prospect of nuclear war, the Savannah was meant to demonstrate the peaceful use and positive potential of nuclear power. President Eisenhower conceived the idea as part of his "Atoms for Peace" program in 1955, a time when the United States and Soviet Union were routinely testing increasingly powerful nuclear weapons.

Four nuclear-powered merchant ships were eventually built.

The Savannah, named for the first steamship to cross the Atlantic Ocean in 1819, was in every sense of the word a showcase. The ship was given a sleek, streamlined design that wasn't really compatible with stowing large amounts of cargo, a fact that would eventually shorten its career.

Passenger accommodation was comparable to many conventional liners of the day. There were 30 air-conditioned staterooms, a dining room for 100 people, a swimming pool, a library and a lounge that could be converted into a cinema.

But the heart of the Savannah was its nuclear propulsion system, which at $28 million ($203 million in today's money) cost more than the ship itself, a mere $18.5 million ($134 million today). The Babcock and Wilcox nuclear reactor drove Savannah's two steam-turbine engines cheaply and efficiently.

In the end, though, it wasn't economical enough to offset the tight forward cargo area and other deficiencies that made the ship too expensive to operate commercially. Its tapered bow not only limited the cargo capacity to 8,500 tons -- well below that of contemporary vessels -- but also made loading difficult, especially as ports became more automated.

The Savannah also required a crew of 124, one-third again as large as conventionally powered ships, and those crew members required additional training to work with the propulsion system.

The Maritime Administration, which owned Savannah, leased her in 1965 to American Export-Isbrandtsen Lines for cargo-passenger service. But the ship never turned a profit and was laid up in January 1972. The Savannah spent most of the 1970s tied up in Galveston, Texas, where it underwent regular inspections of its nuclear plant.

Since then, the ship, which has been designated a National Historic Landmark, has become a museum piece in search of a home. Following decommissioning, the nuclear fuel was removed; the process of cleaning out all remaining nuclear contamination continues in a Baltimore shipyard.

When that job is completed sometime in 2011, the Maritime Administration hopes to see Savannah converted into a floating museum. So far, there have been no takers.

Model Unravels Rules That Govern How Genes Are Switched On And Off

For years, scientists have struggled to decipher the genetic instruction book that details where and when the 20,000 genes in a human cell will be turned on or off. Different genes operate in each cell type at different times, and this careful orchestration is what ultimately distinguishes a brain cell from a liver or skin cell. Scientists have developed a model of gene expression in yeast that predicts with a high degree of accuracy whether a gene will be switched on or off. Genes operate in each cell type at different times, and this careful orchestration is what ultimately distinguishes a brain cell from a liver or skin cell.
