Creating Webdb Report Links (Help wanted)

Question

(1) I am creating a report that simply pulls in rows from a table
>
(2) We have created "static" HTML biographies (Dynamic Pages) for each one
of these representives and stored them in our schema CIWEB.
(3) I simply want to link each row in that table with their respective
biography
(4) the only way i know to link to something from the report is from the
"links" option. However, this seems to only link each row in that table to
"one" link that you specified...
(5) How do i go about creating a separate link for each record (biography
link) from that report??
Help would be appreciated,null

Answer 1

You need to be able to take information from the row in the table and use it to define the report you are going to. How I would do it is a) create a QBE report on the table.
b) Define the link to call a FORM you build based on a procedure, taking as parameter(s) the data from the row that defines the report you want.
c) In the procedure on which you based the linked to form, take the parameter and use it in some way to construct the name of the destination report and then
d) call this report from the procedure using dynamic PL/SQL and the constructed name.
e) If you don't want to see the actual form that is based on this procedure add the following code to the section '...after displaying the footer' of the PL/SQL code exits area:
htp.script('<name of form>.submit()','Javascript');
Hope this helps.
