Sort/filter datablock based on procedure that return table type

Question

Hi All,
I’ve got datablock based on procedure that return table type. In the form I have to provide ‘filter and sort records’ functionality. Previously, using tables/views based datablocks, I’ve done that by using:
-- filter
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY (L_BLOCK_NAME, DEFAULT_WHERE, L_WHERE_CLAUSE);
-- sort
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(L_BLOCK_NAME ,ORDER_BY, L_ORDER_BY_CLAUSE);
-- and then
EXECUTE_QUERY;
It doesn’t work with procedure that return table type. How I can do that?

I agree with Andreas, from the sample you have given us, I don't see any reason why you could not merge these queries into a single UNION/UNION ALL query. Also, I would add your summation query to your main query to eliminate this extra step. The result would look something like:
SELECT DISTINCT
     pih.id
     ,d.document_id
     ,pih.doc_serial_no
     ,pih.purch_invoice_date
     ,oh.company_name
     ,(SELECT NVL(SUM(amount),0)
          FROM "YOUR TABLE HERE" yth
          WHERE yth."YOUR COLUMN HERE" = pih.id) AS sum_amount
  FROM "YOUR TABLES HERE"
WHERE "YOUR JOIN CONDITIONS HERE"
UNION ALL
SELECT DISTINCT
     sih.id
     ,d.document_ind
     ,sih.doc_serial_no
     ,sih.sales_invoice_date
     ,sih.company_name
     ,(SELECT NVL(SUM(amount),0)
          FROM "YOUR TABLE HERE" yth
          WHERE yth."YOUR COLUMN HERE" = sih.id) AS sum_amount
  FROM "YOUR TABLES HERE"
WHERE "YOUR JOIN CONDITIONS HERE"
[/code]
Hope this helps.

It appears the CODE tags are not working as well as the URL tags.  :(
