How to use VO attribute in a page region in valueset of flex segment

Question

I have a seeded oracle page - having 2 regiions
The first region shows basic employee information like job, position etc
The second region shows a flexfield having 4 segments.
My requirement is to restrict the value in first segment based on the employee's job.
e.g If employee is of Job A-, Segment 1 shoows the values as A.B.C in the poplist
if employee if of Job X, segment 1 has to show only values as AA, BB in the poplist
how can i use the vo attribute as paramter to my segment 1 valueset?
Thanks,
Lal

One way to achieve this is:
1.Make sgement 1 to show A.B.C in the poplist.
2.Create a new segment which shows AA, BB in the poplist. So now total no. of segments are 5.
3. In the second region in the page display only first 4 segments. For displaying only required segments refer "DEscriptive Flex Fields" in Dev Guide.
4. Create another region (3rd region) which displays segments 2 to 5. i.e. this does not show segment1
5. Using PPR display required region based on the value in Job field.
Note: this approach is suitable when you have very less no. of options in Job field to choose from.
