More than 255 characters in browser URL - Help needed

Question

Hai friends,
We are facing a problem. We are calling a report from a form. We are using
FORMS 10G AND REPORTS 10G.
While calling reports from forms Reports are showing error, because we are not able to pass more that 255 characters in brwoser URL.
We are using
web.show_document(v_host||':'||v_port||lv_serv_string||v_parameter_string,'_blank');
for calling reports.
Please give a help.
Thanks and Regards
Mathew

Sir,
We are using this code.
PROCEDURE lp_web_show IS
v_host varchar2(100);
v_port varchar2(10);
lv_serv_name varchar2(50);
lv_serv_string varchar2(50);
lv_rep_name varchar2(25) := 'Apr020.rep';
lv_rep_fmt varchar2(50);
v_parameter_string varchar2(4000);
v_username varchar2(50);
v_password varchar2(50);
v_database varchar2(50);
Lvr_Where_Clause Varchar2(4000);
BEGIN
Proc_Validate_All; --Procedure to validate all items in canvas
lp_get_web_details(v_host,v_port,lv_serv_name,lv_serv_string,lv_rep_fmt,
v_username,v_password,v_database);
v_parameter_string := lv_serv_name;
v_parameter_string := v_parameter_string||'&report='||lv_rep_name;
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='||lv_rep_fmt;
Proc_Get_Where_Clause(Lvr_Where_Clause);
v_parameter_string :=
v_parameter_string||'&PVR_WHERECLAUSE='||Lvr_Where_Clause;
v_parameter_string := v_parameter_string||'&PM_FIN_YEAR='||:FIN_YEAR;
web.show_document(v_host||':'||v_port||lv_serv_string||v_parameter_string,'_blank');
END;
So the total URL exeecds 255 characters. I didnt understand your coding. Do We have to pass host name,port number and all no?
