Passing user defined parameters in oracle reports thru command line

Question

Hi All
We are currently using Reports 6i with Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4.0
I would like to know that is it possible to pass user defined parameters values while calling report from command line.
For Example: I am using following coding to call report from command line.
for /f "tokens=1-3 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t mm/dd/yyyy -1') do (
set mm=%%b
set dd=%%a
set yyyy=%%c)
rwrun60 report=c:\reports\banks.rdf userid=express/test@test_rs2 destype=FILE desname=c:\reports\banks%dd%%mm%%yyyy%.pdf desformat=PDF BACKGROUND=NO BATCH=YES
The report contains some user defined parameter which is using in where condition of reqport query.
Select * from banks
where id = :Bank_ID
Now I want to Pass value for :Bank_Id from command line (like we pass parameter list while calling report with run_product), how it is possible?
Thanks
Hassan

Hi guys
Fortunately I am able to perform the required task as I just added the report parameter field as follows:
rwrun60 report=c:\reports\banks.rdf userid=express/test@test_rs2 destype=FILE desname=c:\reports\banks%dd%%mm%%yyyy%%h%%mi%%ss%%ts%.pdf desformat=PDF BACKGROUND=NO BATCH=YES ERRFILE=c:\reports\error.log LOGFILE=c:\reports\joblog.log bank_id='MCB'
bank_id is the report parameter using in where clause.
