How to display Reports parameter form in Oracle Forms 10g.

Question

hello,
am migrating from Forms 6i applications to Forms 10g.
one of my application contain report, that report display parameter form
I wrote below code for WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger
DECLARE
pl_id      ParamList;
v_report_id report_object;
v_report varchar2(100);
vjob_id varchar2(100);
vc_rep_status varchar2(100);
BEGIN
pl_id := create_parameter_list('my_list');
add_parameter (pl_id,'P_HOSPITAL_ID',text_PARAMETER,
:bm_hospitals.hospital_id);
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
v_report_id := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('bm_r001');
v_report := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT ( v_report_id,pl_id );
vjob_id := substr ( v_report, length(<reportservername>)+2,
length( v_report) );
vc_rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS (v_report);
IF vc_rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
ELSE
     message ('Report failed with error message '||vc_rep_status);
END IF;
Destroy_Parameter_List(pl_id);
END;
The Above code is running report and displaying Output perfect but cannot
display the Parameter Form at runtime.
any help in this very thankful.

Answer 1

In Your code there is a line:
add_parameter(pl_id,'PARAMFORM',text_PARAMETER,'NO');
which actually disables the report parameter form.
The line:
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'|| vjob_id||
'?server=rep_mohahubkpcomp_ORaHOme_IAS'||'&userid=
bedman/bedman@bedman'||'&paramform=yes','_blank');
displays the report to which vjob_id refers. At this point the report is competed so the parameters userid and paramform are useless.
Hope this helps.
