Answer 1

In this example V_SYSTEM_ID is the parameter created in Reports and Node_value is the value I am passing. Hope this helps
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
node number;
node_value number;
al_button number;
v_system_id number;
BEGIN
** Check to see if the 'tmpdata' parameter list exists.
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
** If it does, then delete it before we create it again in
** case it contains parameters that are not useful for our
** purposes here.
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
** Create the 'tmpdata' parameter list afresh.
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
** Add 3 data parameters to this parameter list
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'V_SYSTEM_ID',TEXT_PARAMETER, node_value);
**Pass a Parameter into PARAMFORM so that a parameter dialog will not appear
**for the parameters being passing in.
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
** Run the report synchronously, passing the parameter list
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'WRKPKG_HIER',
SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id,
NULL);
END;
null
