Updating people group segments

Question

Hi,
I'm very new to PL/SQL and want to run a sql script to update people group segments based on grade step and ceiling points
I've searched around on metalink and have the beginnings of something but maybe I need to use an extra cursor at the beginning or something? Could anyone help?
Thanks
declare l_people_group_id NUMBER;
select paf.assignment_id, paf.object_version_number, paf.special_ceiling_step_id
into p_assignment_id, l_out_object_version_number, l_special_ceiling_step_id
from per_assignments_f paf,
pay_people_groups ppg
where p_person_id = paf.person_id
and paf.people_group_id = ppg.people_group_id
and p_effective_date between paf.effective_start_date and paf.effective_end_date;
cursor get_current_ceiling_assignment is
select asg.*, ast.per_system_status
from per_assignment_status_types ast,
per_assignments_f asg,
per_grade_spines_f pgsf,
per_spinal_point_steps_f pspsf
where assignment_id = p_assignment_id
and ast.assignment_status_type_id = asg.assignment_status_type_id
and pgsf.grade_spine_id = pspsf.grade_spine_id
and pspsf.step_id = pgsf.ceiling_step_id
and asg.grade_id = pgsf.grade_id
-- and p_effective_date between effective_start_date and effective_end_date;
and asg.effective_start_date = (select max(effective_start_date)
from per_all_assignments_f
where assignment_id = asg.assignment_id);
begin
for v1 in get_current_ceiling_assignment loop
l_out_object_version_number := v1.object_version_number;
l_special_ceiling_step_id := v1.special_ceiling_step_id;

end loop;
end;

I'm trying to update two people segments when the grade step reaches the ceiling point.
I'm not expecting anything to be returned in the query but want the api to update the relevant assignment records.
I'm using 11.5.10 apps, 10g database. I just think I'm missing something fundamental with the constrcution of my script here
