SQL from Table Column with Dynamic URL Problem

Question

This is the SQL I'm attempting to save to a table column via the Object Browser;
select
"a"."PBR_BRIEF_ID" "Brief ID",
"a"."PROJECT_NUMBER" "Project",
"b"."DESCRIPTION" "Description",
"b"."ACTUAL_END_DATE" "Actual End",
"b"."RFS_DATE" "RFS",
"b"."LOCATION_CODE" "Location",
''||"b"."ESA_CODE"||'' "ESA",
"b"."PROJECT_USER_STATUS" "Status",
"b"."PROJECT_TRIGGER" "Trigger"
from
UPT1TRIAL.FUND_PLAN_BRIEF_LINK_CCR@NDSD "a",
UPT1INTEGRAL.INT_PROJECT_DATA@NDSD "b"
where
"a"."PBR_BRIEF_ID" = :P3_BRIEF_ID and
"a"."PROJECT_NUMBER" = "b"."PROJECT_DEFINITION_NUMBER"
The intesting bit is the following, where a URL is return behind a particular column;
''||"b"."ESA_CODE"||'' "ESA",
It's interesting because when I click on "Apply Changes" in the Object Browser, the text that appears in the column is as follows, i.e. with APP_ID and SESSION populated;
''||"b"."ESA_CODE"||'' "ESA",
Why would that happen??
The full SQL above is used in an application page with a SQL Query (PL/SQL function body returning SQL query). The basic SQL works OK but because of what the Object Browser is doing, the link does not.

Damian,
Use
& lt;
for your < tags and then the message will appear in the proper format.
If you are using dynamic sql to generate an url with APP_ID and SESSSION you could:
a) create page items (P1_APP_ID and P1_SESSION)
b) compute those page items to the actual APP_ID and SESSION_ID
c) use the value of those items while generating your dynamic sql (instead of APP_ID and SESSION)
Then, your links will show the right APP_ID and the right SESSION.
