ODI Procedure to File Mapping

Question

HI,
My scenario is like this i have a package/function in db which returns a custom type. Now i want to transform this custom type into a flat file.
Here is my procedure :
Declare
v_return_value XXTLN_EMP_ASSG_DATA_TAB := XXTLN_EMP_ASSG_DATA_TAB ();
P_TOTAL_RECORDS NUMBER;
P_RECORDS_RETURNED NUMBER;
p_batch_id NUMBER;
p_le_array le_array := le_array();
Begin
p_le_array.extend();
p_le_array(1) := 'SE';
v_return_value := XXTLN_ATLAS_CASSINI_PKG.XXTLN_EMPLOYEE_DATA_LE(p_le_array,p_batch_id,500,P_TOTAL_RECORDS,P_RECORDS_RETURNED);
dbms_output.put_line('DONE');
P$_temp.pv_ret := P_RECORDS_RETURNED;
p$_temp.v_return_val := v_return_value;
end;
I have defined a variable name Result with refresh as:
select P$_temp.get_ret_tab from dual
when i run the package which executes procedure in Step 1 and variable refresh in Step 2 i get oracle.sql.Array in this variable, My step 3 is an interface, i want to access this variable data in the interface.
I want to transform this variable into a flat file. Is this possible?
Or more simple is it possible to get what ever the procedure is returning as a source in the interface while mapping ?
Regards
Atif Dar

In my procedure on ODI side i am calling XXTLN_EMPLOYEE_DATA_LE which in turn is returning a custom type. i want to transform the data in a flat file like in this format
1;t796811;Atif;Dar;[email protected];N;80799
i am able to get this data in a variable. is it possible to use this variable as a source in an interface ?
