My first detailed report!!! I have a text file that contains SSNs. I need to pass the SSN to my "where" clause and run the report individually for each SSN. Anyone with ideas on how to do this? Also, can anyone send me details on how to do a 2 page report? My first page contains data from oracle table, second page is just static text. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Two pages: put the first page to the main section, the second one to the trailer section.
SSN: create a simple report ( they call it driver report in Oracle Reports) that would call in loop another report and pass each SSN as parameter.
For the first report you may use one of the report triggers (for example, before report trigger) and put your PL/SQL code there that would read the text file and create a loop. You can call your SSN report in the loop using SRW.RUN_REPORT procedure.

Look for TEXT_IO package. Also in Oracle Reports help.
