Oracle forms 10g Parameter passing from forms to reports

Question

Hello Room,
Please let me know what is wrong with this code. It is not passing parameter at all to the reports 10g parameter form from forms 10g, no matter what. I tried to delete the parameter from reports parameter form, I also tried to enable/disable restricted values from reports, I tried to hide the parameter from reports, but it is just not doing it.
DECLARE
pl_id PARAMLIST;
repid REPORT_OBJECT;
v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(20);
report_job_id VARCHAR2(100);
fill varchar2(100);
reportname varchar2(200);
ab varchar2(200);
cursor c200 is select CONAME,LOCATIONMASTER.LOCNAME FROM USERCODETL,MULCOMP,LOCATIONMASTER
WHERE MULCOMP.CO=USERCODETL.CO
AND USERCODETL.USERID = SUBSTR(AB,1,50) AND USERCODETL.LOCCD = LOCATIONMASTER.LOCCD;
begin
     AB := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
OPEN C200;
FETCH C200 INTO :block4.coname,:block4.locname;
CLOSE C200;
synchronize;
pl_id:=GET_PARAMETER_LIST('paramlist');
IF NOT ID_NULL(pl_id) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(pl_id);
END IF;
pl_id:=CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('paramlist');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'vcompany', TEXT_PARAMETER, :block4.coname);
     Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'vlocname', TEXT_PARAMETER, :block4.locname);
repid := find_report_object('testreport');
fill := GET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, report_server);
reportname := GET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid, report_filename);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,RUNTIME);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'pdf');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_SERVER,'repsrv');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no'||'vcompany='||:block4.coname||'vlocname='||:block4.locname);
v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid,pl_id);
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet?report='||reportname||'&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&userid=scott/tiger@servernew&paramform=yes');
END;
Please help. Thank you in advance.

Hello Inol,
Greetings !
There seems to be a syntax error when I run your code:-
REP-52251: Cannot get output of job ID 272 you requested on Fri Apr 08 02:37:25 GMT 2011.<P>REP-51026: No output for job 272
when I run then command:-
http://local-pc:8889/reports/rwservlet/showjobs
Terminated with error: <br>REP-159: Syntax error on command line.
Is there a error on your statement ?
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1) ||'?server=repsrv );
it should be
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1) ||'?server=repsrv ' );
then only it is getting compiled properly. A single quote in the end !
And finally I changed this line
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no p_1='||:SP_USERCODE 'p_my_second_parameter='||:block.my_second_parameter);
to this line
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no p_1='||:SP_USERCODE|| *'p*mysecond_parameter='||:block.my_second_parameter);
as it is giving error where highlighted in bold Is it necessary to change and add a concatenation there ?_
But... But... even though I compile it properly the code is getting executed and it is giving the above error. Please note the same.
Also please tell me what should be the status of the following things in report builder 10g.
1. Shall I remove the parameters vcompany and vlocname from the parameter form and keep it just in parameters of report , There is a third parameter which I want the user to input while running the report other than these 2 parameters ?
2. Shall I restrict the parameter to predetermined values ?
3. Shall I hide the first column of the parameter in report builder.
I have also tried to simulate the execution parameters from batch to runtime and comm mode to synchronous and asynchronous and vice versa. I have also given command rwserver server = repsrv on my pc and also server pc. please let me know about this also whether I need to give this command every time ? I mean for every booting ?
As this problem is faced by many people. I think it should work across the fly as given by you or rather corrected by you. I would also like to know is there any patch available for the same released by oracle, as I have read somewhere in the forum here which I cannot locate the thread now. I do not mind paying for support if I find the need ?
Please help me further. Thank you.
