Passing Parameters in XML Publisher

Question

Hi,
I want to pass a parameter to a XML Publisher Report.(in Oracle Apps)
Can anyone of you pose an example.
Currently I have a report with main query as
SELECT papf.*
FROM   apps.per_all_people_f papf
where papf.current_employee_flag = 'Y'
and trunc(sysdate) between papf.effective_start_date and papf.effective_end_date;I want to pass a parameter :p_effective_date and use in query instead of sysdate.
Please post the entire data Definition File

is it in xml data definition?
if above is true then
in concurrent add parameter (look at FND_STANDARD_DATE)
in xml data definition add as example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<dataTemplate name="XXTEST" version="1.0">
<parameters>
  <parameter name="P_DATE" dataType = "date"></parameter>
</parameters>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q_1">
