use the below query

select deptno,
            max(decode(rn,1,ename))||
            max(decode(rn,2,','||ename))||
            max(decode(rn,3,','||ename))||
           max(decode(rn,4,','||ename))||
            max(decode(rn,5,','||ename))||
            max(decode(rn,6,','||ename)) ename, loc
    from (select emp.deptno, ename, loc,
                  row_number () over (partition by emp.deptno order by ename) rn
           from emp, dept where emp.deptno = dept.deptno)
     group by deptno, loc

None of the previous answers actually answered the question. With the detailed information as a given, there are a number of ways in Oracle PL/SQL you can do this, and the following is just one way with a single SELECT statement.

Code

  1.          WHEN Colmn = 'DeptId' THEN

  2.              (SELECT RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e, DeptId || ' ')).EXTRACT ('//text()')) FROM Department)

  3.          WHEN Colmn = 'Dname' THEN

  4.              (SELECT RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e, Dname || ' ')).EXTRACT ('//text()')) FROM Department)

  5.          WHEN Colmn = 'Dlocation' THEN

  6.              (SELECT RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e, Dlocation || ' ')).EXTRACT ('//text()')) FROM Department)

  7.        END ChrData

  8. FROM (SELECT TabColmn.Colmn

  9.             FROM (SELECT 'DeptId' AS Colmn FROM dual

  10.                        UNION ALL

  11.                       SELECT 'Dname' AS Colmn FROM dual

  12.                        UNION ALL

  13.                       SELECT 'Dlocation' AS Colmn FROM dual

  14.           ) TabColmn

  15.       )

The code seemed to have been messed up there, here it is again formated:

SELECT CASE
WHEN Colmn = 'DeptId' THEN
(SELECT RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e, DeptId || ' ')).EXTRACT ('//text()')) FROM Department)
WHEN Colmn = 'Dname' THEN
(SELECT RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e, Dname || ' ')).EXTRACT ('//text()')) FROM Department)
WHEN Colmn = 'Dlocation' THEN
(SELECT RTRIM(XMLAGG(XMLELEMENT(e, Dlocation || ' ')).EXTRACT ('//text()')) FROM Department)
END ChrData
FROM (SELECT TabColmn.Colmn
FROM (SELECT 'DeptId' AS Colmn
FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Dname' AS Colmn FROM dual
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Dlocation' AS Colmn FROM dual
) TabColmn
)

SELECT SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(DEPTNO, )I ,
SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(DNAME, ) II,
SYS_CONNECT_BY_PATH(LOC, ) III
FROM DEPT
WHERE LEVEL = &TOTALDEPARTMENTS
START WITH DEPTNO = 10
CONNECT BY PRIOR DEPTNO < DEPTNO;
