Find the location where forms is installed

Question

I want to run a report directly from form without showing
parameter form. For this i use
HOST('c:\orawin95\bin\r22run32.exe report = path of report
userid = ' || get_application_property(username) || '/' ||
get_application_property(password) ||'/'||
get_application_property(connect_string) || 'parameter = YES
destype = PRINTER batch = yes background = yes')
Here I have a problem to find the location (ie c:\ or d:\ ..)
where the forms is installed.
Pls reply ,if anybody the solution.

Answer 1

Why you don't use RUN_PRODUCT or RUN_REPORT_OBJECT function ?
With RUN_PRODUCT or RUN_REPORT_OBJECT, forms will find where is
report.
Examples for RUN_REPORT_OBJECT:
DECLARE
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
     rep_status varchar2(20);
BEGIN
     repid := find_report_object('report4');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
END;
or example for RUN_PRODUCT :
PROCEDURE Run_Emp_Report IS
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'EMP_QUERY',DATA_PARAMETER,'EMP_RECS');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'empreport', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
