CALL A REPORT FROM ORACLE 10G FORMS

Question

HI,
I HAVE STARTED TO WORK WITH ORACLE DATABASE 11G AND DEVELOPER SUIT 10G.
I HAVE A REPORT THAT IT WORKS CORRECTLY WHEN I RUN IT FROM REPORT DEVELOPER.
BUT WHEN I WANT TO CALL IT FROM A FORM, IT DOESN'T WORK.
IN ORACLE DEVELOPER 6I, I USE "RUN_PRODUCT" COMMAND AND IT WORKS WELL ,BUT IN
DEVELOPER SUIT 10G I HAVE TO USE "RUN_REPORT_OBJECT" AND I DON'T KNOW HOW.
WHEN I COMPILE MY CODES THERE IS NO ERROR ,BUT WHEN I RUN IT, IT SHOWS ME SOME ERRORS .
THIS IS MY CODES FROM ORACLE HELP :
DECLARE  
repid REPORT_OBJECT; 
v_rep VARCHAR2(100); 
rep_status VARCHAR2(20);
BEGIN
repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('D:\TESTPROJ\REPORT1.JSP'); 
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
END;
IT SHOWS ME THIS ERROR : FRM-41219 .CANNOT FIND REPORT. INVALID ID.
AND THEN : FRM-40738. ARGUMENT 1 TO BUILTIN RUN_REPORT_OBJECT CANNOT BE NULL;
PLEASE HELP ME TO SOLVE THIS PROBLEM
THANKFUL

Manu,
I added my report to Form-Navigator and I changed it's name to REP1.
I added all you codes to When-Button-Press event like this :
DECLARE
     RO_Report_ID REPORT_OBJECT;
     Str_Report_Server_Job VARCHAR2(100);
     Str_Job_ID VARCHAR2(100);
     Str_URL VARCHAR2(100);
     PL_ID PARAMLIST ;
BEGIN
     PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('TEMPDATA');
     IF NOT ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
          DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
     END IF;
     PL_ID := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('TEMPDATA');
     RO_Report_ID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('REP1'); -- This is my report's name in Form-Navigator. Is it correct to put it here ?
     ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'P_SELECT_CITY',     TEXT_PARAMETER, :CITY); --These are my parameter in REPORT and it's Value in my FORM*
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_FILENAME, 'D:\projects\PROJECT_OF_1388\TestOraDev10g\TEST_REP1');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_SERVER, 'Rep_faraji'); -- as you said, I put my computer name after REP_   here
     Str_Report_Server_Job := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(RO_Report_ID, PL_ID);
     Str_Job_ID := SUBSTR(Str_Report_Server_Job, LENGTH('Rep_faraji') + 2, LENGTH(Str_Report_Server_Job)); -- as you said, I put my computer name after REP_   here
     Str_URL      := '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid' || Str_Job_ID || '?server=Rep_faraji'; -- as you said, I put my computer name after REP_   here
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(Str_URL, '_SELF');
     DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
END;
But it doesn't work again, And shows this error :
FRM-41213. unable to connect to the report server Rep_faraji
