Hi,
Check this sample Code..
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
pl_name VARCHAR2(10) := 'repdata';
BEGIN
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List(pl_name);
IF Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List(pl_name);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'P_STARTDATE', TEXT_PARAMETER,:BLK_CTRL.P_TODATE);     
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'P_ENDDATE', TEXT_PARAMETER, :BLK_CTRL.P_CURRENCY);
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
ELSE
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'D:\MMRROLDL.RDF' ,SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id ,NULL);
END;
