Forms Personalization - How to pass parameter to a Report

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to run a report from a menu entry in the AP Invoice entry form. For this I have done the necessary steps of creating the menu entry and am assigning the values for the 2 parameters to a global variable and then launching SRS form.
In SRS form created an action to assign the global variable value to work_order.parameters. I can invoke the SRS OK except that my 2 parameter values appear concatenated in the first parameter itself and are not getting assigned to each of them seperately.
my global variable assignment is as follows :
=${item.inv_sum_folder.vendor_name.value}||'.'||${item.inv_sum_folder.vendor_site_code.value}
and my work_order.parameters value assignment is as follows :
=select nvl(${global.kmg_invalid_po_gv.value}, ${item.work_order.parameters.value}) from dual
Any ideas why this is not working ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Prudhvi,
Thanks for reply.
I have actually seen it work for another report 'Supplier Payment Listing' (there are a few ppt presentations of this on the internet, can dig it out if reqd)
The Select of the Single Query is assigned using INTO to the output variables. Just as you can use these output variables anywhere in the message you can also use them as parameters to pass to a concurrent prorgam or a function.
However, when I try to mimick what i saw with above report for my custom report it somehow cannot distinguish between the parameters and treats them as 1 parameter value.
I believe the parameters need to be seperated by a period(.) when assigning to global variables.
Thanks
Shankar
