Passing a parameter to aReport Customization Form

I have a report that has a default view and a customized view. The default view has a button that allows the user to customize the report by showing the same report in show_parms mode. This allows them to sort and break on different fields. I would like to send the same parameter sent to the default view to the version generated by the run button on the customization form. I just can't fiqure out how to do it. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Linda

Martin,
Thank you for responding. I will certainly keep in mind the way you solved the problem. But I actually solved it myself with the following technique.
STEPS
1. Created a link to the Reports Customization form from the Report.
2. Captured the value of the parameter sent through the URL to the bind variable for the report.
3. Set the parameter value to a global variable using the Session storage API=wwsto_api_session.
4. Retrieved the value of the global variable by setting the default value in the "Customization Form Display Options" tab of the report.
In the Report add the following PL/SQL Code....
--Location: Additional PL/SQL Code
--Attribute: ... after displaying the header
declare
l_store portal30.wwsto_api_session;
l_param_value varchar2(4);
begin
--(#2)TStudy is the parameter name passed through the URL and the name of the bind variable in the SQL Command
l_param_value := portal30.wwv_name_value.get_string(l_arg_names,
l_arg_values, 'Tstudy','',1);
--(#1) Add Link to the Reports Customization Form
htp.p ('<CENTER>');
htp.p('<font class=portletheading2> CUSTOMIZE</font>');
htp.p ('</CENTER>');
htp.br;
--(#3)Store Parameter Value sent to the bind variable
l_store := portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session ('MYPORTAL', 'MYReport');
l_store.set_attribute ('PValue', l_param_value);
l_store.save_session;
END;
--(#4) Default Value in "Customization Form Display Options" for TStudy
#portal30.wwsto_api_session.load_session('MYPORTAL', 'MYReport').get_attribute_as_varchar2('PValue')
?????My Last Question - How do I hide the prompt for the bind variable. I don't want the user to change this value after I went to such trouble to set it???????
Thanks again,
Linda Gowen

Passing parmeter from report to customize form thru link

I am using Portal 3.0 with the Oracle 9iAS. I have created a reportA with a column named INDT. The value in this column is linked to the customization report of another reportB. reportB has a bind variable called :B_INDT, created to receive the INDT value from the link
(FROM SCHEMA.TABLE
....WHERE
INDT = :B_INDT)
When I edit this link in reportA, the parameter does not appear. I only get User parameters and System parameters fields. I am trying to pass the INDT value that is clicked on in reportA through the link to the biNd variable field, :B_INDT, in the customization form of reportB to retrieve all records with that INDT value.

Hi,
When you link to a custmization form you will not be able to link to the bind variable. You can link to a bind variable only when you use the component and not the component's customization form.
You can link to the component and map the bind variable and I think your requirement can be achieved.
Thanks,
Sharmila

Extremely URGENT! How to pass a parameter from html to form?

Hi Guys,
I want to be able to pass a parameter to a Pre-Query trigger (from a html page to an Oracle form.) Right now, I hard coded the Pre-Query trigger
(i.e. set_block_property('datablock_name', default_where, 'tableName.fieldName = '||:datablock.field)
I want to be able to assign a value to the above datablock.field from an URL (i.e. something like http://localhost/dev60cgi/ifcgi60.exe?form=MODULE1.fmx&userid=&otherparams=fieldx=parameterSample
Does anyone know how to set that up within Oracle Forms. Thanks in advance.

Pass data parameter from URL to Forms

Hi
Is it possible to pass a data parameter from asp to Forms?.
In my asp I have a url to call a form (eg. http://servername:port/forms90/f90servlet/form=testform.fmx). In my testform.fmx I accept 'account no' as a parameter for querying the records. Since I am calling this form from asp, I already have the account no in my asp. I would like to pass this account no to the form automatically.
Is it possible to pass this data parameter from url to forms?.
If possible, what changes to be made in the form. Please help.
sreekumar

Create a parameter in your form, there's a node for it in the Navigator window. Imagine it is called myParam.
Pass it on the URL like this:
http://host/forms90/f90servlet?config=myApp&otherParams=myParam=somevalue

How to pass a parameter with more than one value to a report? (urgent)

Hi, all
I try to pass a parameter from a search form to a report in
which I would like to print out my search result. My problem is
I can pass the parameter to report but only one value which my
cursor points to. could anyone tell me how to pass a list of
value to the report? my trigger in form like this:
declare
PL_ID PARAMLIST;
sc_no books.c_no%type;
begin
PL_ID := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('parametername');
IF NOT ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST(PL_ID);
END IF;
PL_ID := CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST('parametername');
IF ID_NULL(PL_ID) THEN
MESSAGE('PL/SQL held against Button failed to execute');
RAISE FORM_TRIGGER_FAILURE;
END IF;
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');
sc_no := :searchlist.c_no; --(c_no is the value I want to pass
but not only one.)
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS, 'reportpathname.rep', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, PL_ID, NULL);
end;
Thank you in advance
Diana

Is it your values in parameter NO separated by coma? And is it
parameter in where clause?
Do you want something like :
from table
where s_no in (NO) ?
If is answer "yes" you can create lexical parameter in report.
You can write in report sowething like:
select a.field1, a.field2,.....
from table a
&COND /* this is if is condition only one line after "from".
if you have more lien after where then you will put this &COND
in line where you want to have your multivalue.
Then in your trigger in form you should write:
sc_no := 'where a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
/* again this is if you have only one line with WHERE ili
conditions */
or you will write:
sc_no := 'and a.sc_no in ('||:searchlist.c_no||')';
ADD_PARAMETER(PL_ID, 'pamametername', TEXT_PARAMETER, sc_no);
It will substitute line in which is your conditions with
multivalue.

Pass a parameter from a report to a customization form of another report

Hello,
I want to pass a parameter value from a report to the customization form of another report and display it in the text field in the customization form as a default value. I have 2 variables in the customization form and in one of them, I would like to display the default value from a previous report.
Thank you
Jayasree

1. go to the manage component screen of the report
2. open the package body (pl/sql source)
3. search for 'procedure show_parms'
4. scroll down till you find
-- call to parameter form rendering engine
5. copy the procedure call below it
a) you will have to pass <PORTAL_SCHEMA>.wwv_utlglobl.RUN_AS_NORMAL to p_mode
b) remove the parameters p_reference_path, p_redirect_url, p_exec_mode, p_page_url ( or you can pass null to them)
c) 'p_parm_names' will contain your 2 parameters
d) you can pass values to 'p_parm_values' which you want to be displayed in the parameter forms.
6. you can call this procedure from a dynamic page and link the dynamic page to your first report

How does customization form pass parameters?

I need to create my own customization form so it can include linked LOVs and was wondering how the default customization form passed the LOV values back to the calling component.
I put two copies of the same report on a page and called the customization form for each report selecting different LOV values. Since each report displays the correct results based on the LOV, I assume page parameters are not being used and neither is p_arg_values/p_arg_values.
Can anyone tell me how this information is being passed to the individual reports?
Thanks, Larry

Sharmila,
I guess I'm confused, the parameters that are selected on the Customization screen are persistent across different login sessions.
Is is my understanding that passing parameters via p_arg_names/p_arg_values on the URL would not carry over from one logon to another or even allow me to navigate to another page and then back to the "customized" screen and still have the customizated values applicable?
Are you saying that once I call a page and pass a name/value parameter pair to the page, that the paramter values remain in affect for subsequent calls to the same page where the name/value pair isn't being passed?
Doesn't the customization screen use the wwpre_api_name and wwpre_api_value methods to pass parameters to components located on a page via the user preference storage?
When I look at the URL associated with the customization link on my portlets I see the preference_path being passed to the customization form.

Passing a parameter from one form to another

Hi
I'm trying to pass a parameter from one form to another. I've read lots of postings about this, and I have succeeded in calling the second form using code behind one of the existing Portal buttons (insert). Here is the code:
DECLARE
pro_id NUMBER;
pro_link VARCHAR2(1200);
BEGIN
pro_id := p_session.get_value_as_number(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_PRO_ID');
pro_link := portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_url(
'CINTRA_APP.PRO_LINK_1',
'WKG_PRO_ID',pro_id,
'_WKG_PRO_ID_cond','=');
PORTAL30.wwa_app_module.set_target(pro_link,'CALL');
END;
Trouble is, the parameter does not get passed. This could be because:
the field I'm trying to populate is based on an LOV ?
the target form is not set up to receive parameters? (I read this somewhere, but how do you do it?)
Thanks
Manfred

Passing a parameter list from a web form to a report

I am using FORMS6 and REPORTS6, with OAS 4.07 on NT4 (SP3).
In client server mode all works well - i am able to pass parameter lists from my calling form to the relevant reports and view them (using RUN_PRODUCT).
However, when i try and do the same by deploying the web Form I come up against several obstacles.
1. How do you pass a parameter list over without using "Paramform=Yes" - a waste of time seeing a html version of the reports parameter form when all the necessary parameters have been selected in the form.
2. if i use web.show_document, with paramform=no, the report runs but with it's default settings.
Any light you can shed would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Tony ,
Launcher form is just a simple form(Non database form) which will be having all fields that is required for the report and button to run the report .
When button pressed trigger
Pass all the parameters which are required using Run_product tool & Call the report by Web.Show_document
Best way to see the report is in .pdf format in adobe acrobat reader
I hope it will help you

Pass parameter to report paramater form from a form

I defined parameter in a form. I am trying to pass the parameters to a report's parameter form. Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Maybe this example will help. This can be added in a when button pressed event to run the report.
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
subheader varchar2(1000);
BEGIN
** Check to see if the 'tmpdata' parameter list exists.
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
** If it does, then delete it before we create it again in
** case it contains parameters that are not useful for our
** purposes here.
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
** Create the 'tmpdata' parameter list afresh.
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
** Add 1 data parameters to this parameter list
*/ -- subheader is a parameter created in Oracle Reports
subheader := :variable.txt_message_yes;
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'SUBTITLE',TEXT_PARAMETER,subheader );
**Pass a Parameter into PARAMFORM so that a parameter dialog will not appear
**for the parameters being passing in.
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
** Run the report synchronously, passing the parameter list
*/ -- ABC is the report name
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'ABC', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);

Forms personalization - passing a parameter to a concurrent request

I am using forms personalization to give the user the ability to submit a concurrent request from the 'Actions' menu of the form. I would like to be able to pass a field from the form to a parameter of the concurrent request. I know how to set a global variable using forms personalization. Does anyone know how I could use this variable as the default value for the parameter in the concurrent request? (e.g. The concurrent program uses PO number as a parameter - I'd like to be able to pass the PO number from the form to the concurrent request.)
