Output Mutiple Files Using htp.p

Question

Hello,
I wish to output 3 CSV files from APEX I have the following code
Declare
S_FileName VarChar(20);
S_Counter Number;
begin
-- Set the File NAme
S_FileName :=To_char(sysdate,'yyyymmdd')||'Letters.CSV';
For S_Counter IN 1..4 LOOP
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||S_FILENAME||S_Counter|| '"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- Loop through all rows in EMP
for x in (select MPAN_CORE,ACCOUNT_NO
from Categoriser.LTNA_LETTER_ONE_OUTPUT@link_to_dqmDevdb )
loop
-- Print out a portion of a row,
-- separated by commas and ended by a CR
htp.prn(x.MPAN_CORE ||','|| x.ACCOUNT_NO ||','||
x.MPAN_CORE || chr(13));
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
-- Send an error code so that the-- rest of the HTML does not render
htmldb_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
end;
At this stage i only want to output 3 files the content is not a issue
I it possible to do this with APEX?
Any help on this is greatly appreciated.

I take it from the lack of response that this is not somthing that APEX can do?No, it's something that HTTP cannot do. Think about it: if it was possible for a server to send multiple files in response to an HTTP request, then it would be possible to break your computer very easily indeed.
aww well looks like i will need to find another way..You'd need something in the browser client-side, Java applet, Flash control etc...
