APEX

Is there anyway to create a mail merge functionality in Apex. In the simplest form I need to create form letters, with variables that are populated such as, the variables are in upper case.

Dear P1_CUSTOMER_NAME,

We are contacting you about order P1_ORDER_NUMBER. blah blah blah.

Please contact us at P1_ PHONE_NUMBER for questions.

thanks


Any ideas? I know I can build it via pl/sql program unit but that gets ugly

:p1_text :='Dear '||P1_CUSTOMER_NAME||

I'm trying to avoid that, some thing a user could take care of.

I discovered I could do it if I populate the "source value or expression" field of an item, but that requires a programmer.

Any other ideas?
