I have to use this function to link other page or portal , using different parameter on different reports.
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION
get_offlu_url (p_offender_id IN NUMBER) return VARCHAR2
     as
    temp_url_string varchar2(300);
    final_url_string varchar2(300);
    v_doc_num off_profile.doc_num%type;
    v_booking_id off_profile.offender_book_id%type;
    begin
       select http||server||port||dad||start_page into temp_url_string
        from offlu_url;
       select doc_num, offender_book_id into v_doc_num, v_booking_id
         from off_profile
         where offender_id = p_offender_id;
       final_url_string := temp_url_string||'doc_num='||v_doc_num||'&abc='||v_booking_id;
       return final_url_string;
    exception
       when too_many_rows then
           v_doc_num := 0;
           v_booking_id := 0;
    END get_offlu_url;
