How to use apex_application.g_f01 with check boxes to find unchecked items

Question

I have a sql report that looks like this:
select
case when q.request_id is null then
apex_item.checkbox(1,q.QUALITY_ISSUE_ID)
else
apex_item.checkbox(1,q.QUALITY_ISSUE_ID,'CHECKED')
end input,
MEANING d,
LOOKUP_CODE r
from LOOKUP_VALUES f
,REQUEST_QUALITY q
where f.LOOKUP_TYPE = 'QUALITY_ISSUES'
and f.LANGUAGE = 'US'
and f.view_application_id = 3
AND f.lookup_code = q.quality_code(+)
AND q.request_id(+) = 3464
Now I need a process where I can insert rows when new ones are selected and delete ones that have been unchecked. For the insert, I need to know the lookup_code and for the delete, it will not be in the array. Because only checked items are passed in the array. How do I get around both issues? The table I am trying to control looks like this:
QUALITY_ISSUE_ID     NUMBER
REQUEST_ID     NUMBER
QUALITY_CODE     VARCHAR2(30)
Quality issue id is based on a seq for new inserts. Request_id is the id of the parent record, and quality code is the code coming from lookup_values
How do I go about this?
I'm on version 4.02
Thanks

hi,
thanks for the quick response.
i'm getting another error upon changing my sql to use
DECLARE
sql_v VARCHAR2(32767) :=
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,''#ROW_NUM#'') item,
       e.employee_id,
       e.last_name,
       e.first_name,
       e.middle_name,
       e.email_address,
       e.tel_no,
       e.mobile_no
  FROM employees e
BEGIN
IF :P3_EMPLOYMENT_STATUS IS NOT NULL THEN
sql_v := sql_v || ' INTERSECT
SELECT apex_item.checkbox(1,''#ROW_NUM#'') item,
       e.employee_id,
       e.last_name,
       e.first_name,
       e.middle_name,
       e.email_address,
       e.tel_no,
       e.mobile_no
  FROM employees e
WHERE e.employment_status = :P3_EMPLOYMENT_STATUS
END IF;
END;i'm sorry if i forgot to mention earlier that i'm using an SQL Report that has a type of SQL Query(PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query).
anyways, i am now getting the error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion errorstill have no idea what's causing this nor the error ealier.
thanks.
