How to Get Host Name Domain Name : Port No. for App Server From Forms

Question

Forms 10g r2
I am looking to run various forms and reports from within a form. I am using web_show_document. I am passing the URL which includes "http://{host name . domain name : port number}/forms/frmservlet?config=schema1_schema2 form=ab0001 p_param1=151 p_param2=1409 p_x=X". My schema1_schema2 config section in formsweb.cfg contains user name, password, connection information.
All works well when the actual host_name.domain_name:port_no are hard-coded within a string that is used for the URL with web_show_document, but I need to be able to distribute the form without hard-coding the host_name, domain_name, and port_no.
I have looked in forms help for application properties, system variables, and within this forum for the built-in or system variable that returns this information, but have not found it.
Can someone please tell me how I can get this information (host_name, domain_name, and port_number for the application server on which the form is currently running) so that I can build this working URL dynamically?
I appologize if I have overlooked it within this forum.
Thanks greatly,
James

Thanks, Rosario.
As it turns out, I don't need the IAS Host_Name, Domain_name, and Port_No. Instead, I can do what I described by stripping off precisely THAT information leaving a URL that looks like:
v_url := "/forms/frmservlet?config=schema1_schema2 form=ab0001 p_param1=151 p_param2=1409 p_x=X";
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(v_url,'_blank');
The original IAS Host_Name, Domain_Name, and Port_No. are assumed and the named config -- schema1_schema2 is still properly referenced so as to use the username/password and connect string to the 2nd schema. This is done by use of the relative path.
