Answer 1

It seems that you didn't commit, did you?

Also, check whether you put page item(s) you use (P164_APP_ID) into the Items to submit dynamic action property (it is right below the PL/SQL code).

Answer 2

If your items do contain the values in the session (that you have to submit to the page, as Littlefoot said) and it still doesn't work, try adding your query to a Process in the Processing tab, with the server-side condition set to pressing the button you're pressing. I can't remember if you can set multiple statements to be run in a single process, but it's worth a try.

Something like:

Processing Tab

Code Section

Condition Section
