Getting a parameter in Oracle Reports from Oracle Forms


I want to pass a parameter using web.show_document() from a Form to a Report, I added the parameter in the URL but I don't know how to get it in the Report and use it .. anyone has an idea about that ?

Thanks in advance :)


Solution

  • To pass the parameters to report in Oracle Forms, you should use paramlist and pass it through run_report_object built-in and after that you can call the report using web.show_document by passing the report id. You can not pass report runtime parameters in web.show_document, below is the example:

    pi_id := Create_parameter_list ('rep_param');
    
          Add_parameter (pi_id,
                         'PARAMFORM',
                         TEXT_PARAMETER,
                         'no');
          --- report object
          --- the below report object 'cproreport' must be created in Report object navigator.
    
          repid := Find_report_object ('cproreport');
    
          Set_report_object_property (repid, report_filename, Rtrim(:parameter.report_path)||preport);
          Set_report_object_property (repid, report_server, :parameter.r_server);
          Set_report_object_property (repid, report_execution_mode, RUNTIME);
          Set_report_object_property (repid, report_comm_mode, SYNCHRONOUS);
          Set_report_object_property (repid, report_destype, cache);
          Set_report_object_property (repid, report_desformat, pformat);
    
          vc_reportserverjob := Run_report_object (repid, pi_id);
    

    After that run web.show_document as following:

    report_job_id :=
             Substr (vc_reportserverjob,
                     Length (:parameter.r_server) + 2,
                     Length (vc_reportserverjob));
          v_rep_status := Report_object_status (vc_reportserverjob);
    
          If v_rep_status = 'FINISHED'
          Then
             web.show_document (
                   'http://'
                || :parameter.host
                || ':'
                || :parameter.port
                || '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'
                || report_job_id
                || '?server='
                || :parameter.r_server,
                '_blank'
             );
