Passing parameter to a dynamic page portlet

Question

We need to create a drill-down report using pl/sql, but it's not working when we passed a parameter. We did the following:
1. Create a package and a store procedure.
2. The store procedure creates the report and the look-and-feel of the report.
3. Create a dynamic page with the following code:
<ORACLE>DECLARE
BEGIN
mvdata.interbay_ops_rpts_pkg.ops_detail_procssr_rpt(p_processor);
END;
</ORACLE>
4. Set the parameter to "public" in the "customization form display option".
5. Create a page group and a page.
6. Clicked on properties of page and then clicked on the parameter tab.
7. Added a parameter named "p_processor_code"
8. We also added the portlet parameter under the "portlet parameter values" and set the parameter to be a page parameter and select the name of the parameter and click OK.
9. Launch the URL: ttp://iasdev01.bftg.com:7782/pls/portal/url/page/PG_GRP_DEVELOPMENT/PG_OPS_DETAIL_PROCESSOR?p_processor_code=DUBOIS.
10. When we tried to launch the application we get an empty report(doesn't execute the parameter).
11. Edit the page and went into layout mode.
12. Click on the "edit default" of the dynamic page portlet and put the value of the parameter and it works without any problems.
I don't understand why it doesn't take the parameter with the page url. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had more luck with PL/SQL items. Try something like this:
declare
zip varchar2(10);
begin
zip := portal.wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('zip', 'a');
if zip='94065' then
   ... do something ...
end if;
end;Peter
