User selected records report

Question

Hi experts,
I have a requiement to fulfill, I have a tabular (multiple record) form where i want the user to pick the selected record using check box (property database item--> No) and only selected records will be shown on the report upon pressing a button,
e.g employees table where user want to print only the selected employees data on the report.
All ideas will be very much appreciated, (as i am trying to make a for loop for this on the button)
(unfortunately i am using form 6i).

Hi guys,
sorry for adding new comment i know problem has been resolved. But i want to add something.
Problem can also bhi solved by creating the LEXICAL PARAMETER. So, in this solution no need to create table.
for example.
DECLARE
vParameter VARCHAR2(1024);
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('BLOCK_NAME');
FIRST_RECORD;
vParameter:='AND report_field_name IN (';
LOOP
IF CHECK_BOX = 'Y' THEN
-- If the value in number
vParameter:=vParameter||:BLOCK.RECORD_ID||','; -- or any id you are using in form
-- If the value in characters
vParameter:=vParameter||'''||:BLOCK.RECORD_ID||'''','; -- or any id you are using in form
END IF;
EXIT WHEN :SYSTEM.LAST_RECORD = 'TRUE';
END LOOP;
vParameter:=SUBSTR(vParameter,1,LENGTH(vParameter)-1)||')';
END;
and pass this variable as parameter in report and use in report's query like this
report_query
&parameter_name
Regards,
