How to add the parameters onto the reports while calling from forms

Question

Hi all,
I am using oracle forms 10g. I want to call a report from the form.
But i dont know how to add parameters to the url while using
web.show_document();
i have a sample code. But it does not add the forms values onto the url.
DECLARE
v_host varchar2(100);
v_port varchar2(10);
v_parameter_string varchar2(4000);
v_username varchar2(50);
v_password varchar2(50);
v_database varchar2(50);
BEGIN
-- Get the full domain name of the server from the formsweb.cfg
tool_env.getvar('SERVER_URL',v_host);
-- Get the username/password and database from the .env file
tool_env.getvar('APPLICATION_USERNAME',v_username);
tool_env.getvar('APPLICATION_PASSWORD',v_password);
tool_env.getvar('APPLICATION_DATABASE',v_database);
-- If it is localhost then we are running on windows and need to use the windows port, otherwise we
-- are on AIX and need to use the AIX port
IF v_host = 'localhost' THEN
     v_port := '8889';
ELSE
     v_port := '7778';
END IF;
-- Now build the parameter string for running the report      
v_parameter_string := 'server=rep_fsprod';
v_parameter_string := v_parameter_string||'&report=AAP_TOTAL_CONTRACT_VALUE_RPT.rdf';
v_parameter_string := v_parameter_string||'&userid='||v_username||'/'||v_password||'@'||v_database;
v_parameter_string := v_parameter_string||'&execution_mode=batch';
v_parameter_string := v_parameter_string||'&comm_mode=synchronous';
v_parameter_string := v_parameter_string||'&destype=cache';
v_parameter_string := v_parameter_string||'&desformat=pdf';
-- Now run the report
web.show_document('http://'||v_host||':'||v_port||'/reports/rwservlet?'||v_parameter_string,'_blank');
END;
Are we able to add the text values in the form from to the URL.
Please let me know....
thanks in advance....
