Answer 1

You don't use DBMS_OUTPUT in apex.
It has ways you can output html within the screen content if you really want (a google search would show you how), though Apex comes with a debug option so you can see what values things have without having to code your own.
Edit: Oh, and p.s. this is the SQL and PL/SQL forum, not the Application Express forum which is here: Oracle Application Express (APEX)
