Get the report list in a PL/SQL procedure

Question

Hi to all,
I need to get the list of the personal report of a specified user in a PL/SQL procedure, is this possible?
My procedure should delete not "standard" report of a specified portal user.
Then i must have the list of all user's reports and after do my delete logic.

Jhon -
It sounds to me that what you want to do is have a list that is generated based upon the identification of an individual. You can do this a number of ways, but I think you would want to write a straight query to accomplish this rather than a PL/SQL procedure. A query to accomplish what you're looking to do would look something like this:
SELECT
person_name,
person_id_number,
other info you need to see in the output
FROM
table_name (that contains the info you need to see)
WHERE
conditional clauses to obtain only data you wish to see
AND :p_person_id = table_name.person_id_number
The AND clause line will return the employee the user wishes to see based upon that person's ID number. This information is asked for in a parameter form before the report is run. The :p_person_id is referred to as a bind variable. You can read more about this on Metalink or OTN.
HTH,
