Oracle: Using Pseudo column value in the same Select statement

Question

I have a scenario in oracle where i need to be able to reuse the value of a pseudo column which was calculated previously within the same select statement something like:

Answer 1

You can also use the subquery factoring syntax - i think it is more readable myself:

with tmp as
(  
  select 'output' process from dual
)
select 
  process, process || '-Output2' from tmp;

Answer 2

You could calculate the value in a sub-query:

select calculated_output process, calculated_output || '-Output2' name from
(
    select 'output1' calculated_output from dual
)

Answer 3

very similar to the previous poster, but I prefer the method I show below, it is more readable, thusly more supportable, in my opinion

select val1 || val2 || val3 as val4, val1 from (
   select 'output1' as val1, '-output2' as val2, '-output3' as val3 from dual
)
