How do I submit a concurrent request (for PL/SQL program) from RDF

Question

Hi,
I have a requirement i need to call a PL/SQL program using concurrent request from Oracle RDF, I am using below code.
-> PL/SQL program has two input parameters
Case:- 1
reqid :=
fnd_request.submit_request ('SQLAP','IPCS_ACH_VENDOR_PAYMENT1','','', FALSE,
               :P_PAYMENT_BATCH,'N' , '', '' ,
If i ran the above rdf i am getting below errors from concurrent request log
ORACLE error 6550 in FDPSTP
Cause:  FDPSTP failed due to ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'GEN_ACH'
ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
Case :- 2
reqid :=
fnd_request.submit_request ('SQLAP','IPCS_ACH_VENDOR_PAYMENT1','','', FALSE,
               :P_PAYMENT_BATCH,'N' );
-> Able to compile the report without any errors.
-> Upon running the rdf getting below error messages
REP-0736: There exist uncompiled program unit(s).
REP-1247: Report contains uncompiled PL/SQL.
=> Case:1 very well worked for Host file .
--- Please help me how to submit a concurrent program( PL/SQL with 2 paramerers) in RDF ...
Thanks

Looking at the 11.5.10 version of the [Oracle Applications Developer's Guide|http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25516_18/current/html/docset.html] on page 21-32 - it states that the FND_REQUEST function must know information about the user and responsibility that is submitting the request. Therefore, the function only works from concurrent programs or forms within Oracle Applications. There are ways around this by initializing this information in your session before your call to SUBMIT_REQUEST. I've never tried this from a Report, but I've done it from PL/SQL that executes outside of Apps. You could try the following to see if it works.
DECLARE
     n_RESP_APPL_ID          NUMBER;
     n_RESP_ID          NUMBER;
     n_USER_ID          NUMBER;
     n_REQUEST_ID          NUMBER;
BEGIN
     n_RESP_APPL_ID := apps.FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_APPL_ID');
     n_RESP_ID := apps.FND_PROFILE.VALUE('RESP_ID');
     n_USER_ID := apps.FND_PROFILE.VALUE('USER_ID');
     apps.FND_GLOBAL.Apps_Initialize(n_USER_ID, n_RESP_ID, n_RESP_APPL_ID);
     /* I prefer to use Named Notation for this call rather than enter placeholders for all 100+ parameters to SUBMMIT_REQUEST */
     n_REQUEST_ID := apps.fnd_request.submit_request(
                                   application => 'SQLAP',
                                   program => 'IPCS_ACH_VENDOR_PAYMENT1',
                                   start_time => To_Char(sysdate,'DD-MON-YYYY',
                                   argument1 => :P_PAYMENT_BATCH
                                   );Obviously, I don't know all of the parameters you need for your request, so I made a "BEST GUESS" based on your code sample so I doubt my example call to Submit_Request will work if you Copy-N-Paste. Make sure you use the correct parameters when you try this in your report.
Hope this helps.
