Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs ?

Question

Hi all,
Can I use Reports Server Queue PL/SQL Table API to retrieve past jobs using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT from Forms ?
I have reviewed note 72531.1 about using this feature and wonder if i can use this metadata to retrieve past jobs submitted by a user.
The idea would be to have a form module that can filter data from the rw_server_queue table, say, base on user running the form, and be able to retrieve past jobs from Report Server Queue. For this, one would query this table and use WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT.
Is this possible ...?
Regards, Luis ...!

Based on that metalink note and the code in the script rw_server.sql, I am pretty sure that by querying the table you would be able accomplish what you want... I have not tested it myself... but it looks that it will work... you have the jobid available from the queue, so you can use web.show_document to retrieve the output previously generated...

-- Constants for p_status_code and status_code in rw_server_queue table (same as zrcct_jstype)
UNKNOWN CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 0; -- no such job
ENQUEUED CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 1; -- job is waiting in queue
OPENING CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 2; -- opening report
RUNNING CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 3; -- running report
FINISHED          CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 4; -- job has finished
TERMINATED_W_ERR CONSTANT NUMBER(2) := 5; -- job has terminated with
