Report from multiple tables - two tired

Question

Hi,
I am trying to create a report with data coming from two tables in Apex, similar to one with a header record followed by detail records. The output would be similar to the output that would be generated from the statement below. Do you know if this is possible? Could you please help with the process to create this. Thank you.
SET SERVEROUTPUT ON
DECLARE
BEGIN
FOR rec IN (select SEQ_MAJ_GOALS as SEQ_MAJ_GOALS from MAJOR_GOALS where EMP_NO = :EMPNO and r_status = 'Open')
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('SEQ_MAJ_GOALS');
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rec.SEQ_MAJ_GOALS);
FOR tasks IN (select TASK_NO, TASK_DESC, LEAD_REQ, TASK_STATUS from TASKS where SEQ_MAJ_GOALS = rec.SEQ_MAJ_GOALS)
LOOP
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(rpad(ltrim(tasks.TASK_NO),11)||rpad(ltrim(tasks.TASK_DESC),30)||rpad(ltrim(tasks.LEAD_REQ),20)||rpad(ltrim(tasks.TASK_STATUS),10)||chr(10));
END LOOP;
END LOOP;
END;

I do this by using a PL/SQL region and use of the htp.p('');
An example:
create a procedure and DECLARE a cursor with variables to hold each value from the cursor. In the BEGIN section create your FOR loop, use the cursor to populate the variables, then use the htp.p call to create your own table output.
It might look something like this:
declare
  cursor c_rec is select SEQ_MAJ_GOALS
           from MAJOR_GOALS where EMP_NO = :EMPNO and r_status = 'Open';
  v_goals    NUMBER;
  cursor c_task is select TASK_NO, TASK_DESC, LEAD_REQ, TASK_STATUS
           from TASKS where SEQ_MAJ_GOALS = v_goals;
  v_taskno  NUMBER;
  v_taskdesc  VARCHAR2(255);
  v_leadreq    VARCHAR2(42);
  v_taskstatus  VARCHAR2(20);
begin
  htp.p('<table>');
  open c_rec;
    LOOP
      FETCH c_rec into v_goals;
      EXIT WHEN c_rec%NOTFOUND;
        htp.p('<tr><th colspan="4">SEQ_MAJ_GOALS</th></tr>');
        htp.p('<tr><td colspan="4">'||v_goals||'</td></tr>');
        open c_task;
          LOOP
            FETCH c_task into v_taskno, v_taskdesc, v_leadreq, v_taskstatus;
            EXIT WHEN c_task%NOTFOUND;
              htp.p('<tr><td>'||v_taskno||'</td><td>'||v_taskdesc||'</td><td>'||v_leadreq||'</td><td>'||v_taskstatus||'</td></tr>');
          END LOOP;
      close c_task;
    END LOOP;
  close c_rec;
  htp.p('</table>');
end;You can add your own styles and formatting.
