How to run a ProC* report called in forms6i on the WEB

Question

Hi all,
We have few Proc* reports which are called in our previous version of oracle forms4.5. But we have now moved to forms6i and we want to run same ProC* reports on the web using forms6i.
I don't have a clue how to do it..
Have anyone done something similar to my requirement or is there any reference manual to look in.
Thanks..

Thanks frank for the reply..
We use the follwing code to call Pro*C report in forms4.5
PROCEDURE RUN_HOST IS
cursor DOCKET_CUR is
select NVL(DELIVERY_DOCKET_TYPE,'A')
from CLIENT
where CODE = :PARAMS.CLIENT_CODE;
p_report_id wms_report_log.report_id%TYPE;
p_program wms_report_log.program%TYPE;
p_select_args wms_report_log.select_args%TYPE;
ret boolean;
delivery_docket_type varchar2(1);
BEGIN
check_order;
open DOCKET_CUR ;
fetch DOCKET_CUR into delivery_docket_type;
if DOCKET_CUR%notfound then
delivery_docket_type := 'A';
end if;
close DOCKET_CUR;
p_program := 'mr803';
p_select_args :=
'CLIENT="' || :params.client_code || '" ' ||
'ORDER_NO="' || :params.order_no || '" ' ||
'DOCKET_TYPE="' || delivery_docket_type || '" ' ||
'PRINT_SUB="' || nvl(:params.print_sub_orders,'N') || '" ' ||
'REPRINT="' || 'Y' || '"';
ret := wms_report_init(p_program, p_select_args,
:params.printer_name, :params.background_mode,
p_report_id);
if (ret = FALSE) then
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
-- if no report_id was set then user must of cancelled
if p_report_id is null then
return;
end if;
:system.message_level := 10;
commit;
:system.message_level := 0;
ret := wms_run_report('../proc/'||p_program, p_report_id, :params.background_mode);
if (ret = FALSE) then
raise form_trigger_failure;
end if;
END;
Frank, can u please briefly explain what do u mean by
physical
directory for Web access and use Web.show_document()
in Forms on the Web to download the Reports output to
the client.Im very new to forms6i..
