Passing parameters to report from a form

I have a form with a button that when pressed will call a report (using the run_product).
How do I pass a parameter from the form to the report?
Cathy

Cathy,
Run_product is obsolete and should be changed to run_report_object. See the forms online help for information about how to use this built-in including information about passing parameters.
You can also look at the Headstart form qms0012f (and it's associated qms0012l.pll) to see how we use run_report_object.

  • Passing parameters to report from current form

    Hi all!
    I have a problem with parameter passing from form to report. I want to display the report with the current customer id and current product id from the form. But my problem is I don't know how to pass parameters from form to report. I am a new user of oracle applications. If any one can help me, please tell me step by step what I should do because I am so new with oracle developer.
    Thanks.
    Sonia.

    Hi,
    An easy way to pass the parameters to the report from the form.
    In the trigger from where u are calling the report you can write a short code there to pass on the parameters you want in the report.
    declare
    pl_id ParamList;
    BEGIN
    pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
    IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
    Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
    END IF;
    pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAM1',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FORM_ITEM1);
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAM2',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FORM_ITEM2);
    Add_Parameter(pl_id,'PARAM3',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FORM_ITEM3);
    Run_Product(REPORTS,'C:\UR.RDF',(SYNCHRONOUS or ASYNCHRONOUS), RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id);
    END;
    For this there is an assumption that in your report you have created, 'PARAM1', 'PARAM2', 'PARAM3' as User Parameters in you data model.
    I have also just now answered for your problem of setting item properties on select of a value from an LOV. Check that out too.

  • Passing parameters to reports from forms.

    Hi
    we are using developer suite 10g and developed some applications.Our reports are working from report buider and also from the forms when we are not passing any parameter.
    But when we add the clause to pass the parameter from forms fields it does not show any values and we get a blank report.
    when we use this code it works with default value set in the report
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no');
    But when we use code to pass the parameter like this it does not work
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'EMPLOYEE_TICKET_NO='||lpad(ltrim(:hris_employee.em_ticket_no),5,' ')||'paramform=no');
    Please suggest how to pass parameter values from forms.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Ansu
    In your code set paramform ='Yes' .Then run report ,it will show you the values that are passing through parameters.SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=yes');
    If it doesnt work for you.
    Try this code
    declare
         pi_id paramlist;
    begin
         pi_id := get_parameter_list('item_param');
    if not Id_null(pi_id) then
         destroy_parameter_list(pi_id);
         end if;
    pi_id := create_parameter_list('item_param');
    add_parameter(pi_id,'PARAMFORM',TEXT_PARAMETER,'no');
    /**********Add here your parameters***************/
    add_parameter(pi_id,*'report parameter name'*,TEXT_PARAMETER,*value from form*);
    RUN_PRODUCT(REPORTS,'c:\MAKESS\INVENT\REPORTS\add_mat_req.RDF',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM,
    pi_id,NULL);

  • Passing parameters to report from form

    hi all
    i have a form which passes a parameter to the reports
    Depending on the parameter the heading is decided ,
    how can i do that??
    eg i have 2 headings school and college
    if i pass school from my forms the heading of the report should be school
    and if it is college the heading should be college
    plzz help me
    thanks
    mandar

    If you just want to change the heading of a column dynamically, you can go with any of the two options. For both the options, you need to remove the static text and replace it with any dummy field (ensure the reference of field w.r. to repeating frame)
    1. Use the Format Trigger and change the heading to either "school" or "college" based on your field value.
    Ex.
    If :<field_name> = 'S'
    then :dummy_field := 'School'
    Else
    :dummy_field := 'College'
    End If;
    Return (true)
    2. Another option is similar to this and uses a CF.
    (I would prefer CF).
    Warm Regards,

  • OAF: passing parameters to report from OAF page and running concurrent prog

    Hi Everyone,
    i have an OAF page with 10 fields after filling those fields i need to press "Submit" button.
    On pressing Submit button 5 parameters i have to pass to the xml publisher report to run the concurrent program and display the output in pdf format.(Out of 10 fields on the page the first 5 fields will be passed as parameters)
    How can i pass parameters from OAF page to the report(concurrent program)?
    and how can i call concurrent program?
    and how can display the output of the report in pdf format after calling the concurrent program?
    Any answers will be really useful...
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks.

    Hi kumar ,
    XML report will generate output in PDF format , first you need to try generating report separately , manually submit
    the concurrent program and make sure every thing goes well .
    Once the above step is done you can try to submit the concurrent from controller class . The submitRequest method
    will return the request ID of the concurrent program .
    Now with the help of this request ID you can redirect the page to Oracle standards Request Page( you can monitor
    the status of concurrent program and view output ) this can be done with the following piece of code
    String url = "OA.jsp";
    parameters.put("akRegionApplicationId", "0");
    parameters.put("akRegionCode","FNDCPREQUESTVIEWPAGE");
    String id = "" + return_reqId + "";
    parameters.put("requestMode","DEFERRED");
    parameters.put("requestId", id);
    pageContext.setForwardURL(url,null,OAWebBeanConstants.KEEP_MENU_CONTEXT,null,parameters,true,OAWebBeanConstants.ADD_BREAD_CRUMB_NO ,OAWebBeanConstants.IGNORE_MESSAGES);

  • Calling report from a form with user input parameters

    Hello,
    I am new to Oracle reports. I have an application coded in 6i. I am currently running the application in Oracle Forms Builder 9i. There are also few reports which are called from the forms. Since the application was developed in 6i, the report was called using Run_Product. The forms pass a set of user parameters to the report using the parameter list pl_id. The syntax used was Run_Product(REPORTS, 'D:\Report\sales.rdf', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
    I learnt that the Run_product doesnt work in 9i and we need to use run_report_object. I have changed the code to use run_report_object and using web.show_document () i am able to run the report from the form. There are 2 parameters that need to be passed from forms to reports. The parameters are from_date and to_date which the user will be prompted to enter on running the form. In the report, the initial values for these parametes are defined. So, the report runs fine for the initial value always. But when i try to change the user inputs for the form_date and to_date, the report output doesnt seem to take the new values, instead the old report with the initial values(defined in the report) runs again.
    Can someone give me the code to pass the user defined parameters to the report from the forms? I have defined a report object in the forms node as REPTEST and defined a parameter list pl_id and added form_date and to_date to pl_id and used the following coding:
    vrepid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT ('REPTEST');
    vrep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT (vrepid,pl_id);
    But this doesnt work.
    Also, Should the parameters defined in the forms and reports have the same name?

    Thanks for the quick response Denis.
    I had referred to the document link before and tried using the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC procedure and ENCODE functions as given in the doc and added the following SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY in the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC :
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,' FROM_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.FROM_DATE||' TO_DATE='||:BLK_INPUT.TO_DATE||' paramform=no');
    But this also dint work. Please help me understand what difference does setting paramform=no OR paramform=yes make?
    In the report, i have defined the user parameters as FROM_DATE and TO_DATE respectively so that they match the form datablock BLK_INPUT items FROM_DATE and TO_DATE.
    My WHEN_BUTTON_PRESSED trigger is as below:
    DECLARE
    report_id report_object;
    vrep VARCHAR2 (100);
    v_show_document VARCHAR2 (2000) := '/reports/rwservlet?';

    RUN_REPORT_OBJECT_PROC( report_id,'repserver90','PDF',CACHE,'D:\Report\sales.rdf','paramform=no','/reports/rwservlet');

Will ensuring that the v_report_other contains the user input parameters FROM_DATE and TO_DATE ensure that my report will run fine for the input parameters?
    Thanks in advance.

  • How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing p

    How to invoke crystal reports from Oracle forms 11g R2 along with passing parameter to it.
    how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.

    how to pass parameters to crystal report, please help.This would entirely depend on crystal reports and you might find informations on crystal reports related communities more likely...I for one have seen crystal reports the last time about 12 years ago. And even back then I simply acknowledged it's existence instead of working with it.
    Maybe crystal reports can be invoked via a URL call which would make it simple as you'd need simply build an URL and show the report using web.show_document. But that's pure speculation. Also you might not be the first with this requirement, so the solution to your problem might be right under your nose and just a little google search away ;)

  • **How to call a report from a form by passing a specfic value?????

    Hi Expert,
    I want to call a report from a form.My problem scenario like, a user is login to his account and there is a option called ADMIT CARD(Push Button).Now when he pressed the button a report will generate.I want that when he pressed the button the user id of the user will passed to the report and the report will generate corresponding to his details which was stored in the database.This scenario is like any online admit card.
    Suppose I want a details report of employee whose employee_id=100.How could I pass this value(employee id) to report which will generate a report details.

  • How to view report from a Form

    I am trying to call a parameter report from a form passing all
    the parameters, using RUN_PRODUCT procedure. I want to display
    the report and not to print it. I set the destination type
    to 'sysout' and the mode to BATCH. I think the mode has to be
    batch in order to hide the parameter form and display the report.
    In the actual report, I have set the initial value for the
    destination type to be sysout.
    But, I am getting the error saying for destination type sysout,
    the mode should be BATCH. That's what I have. So does any one
    has any idea, what I am doing wrong or is this a bug?
    Thanks for your reply and time.

  • How to pass parameters to reports

    Hi,
    I am a new user to dev2000, i am struck at passing parameters to the reports, i have used lexical referrences, to the where clause, in the query that i have written in reports builder. It created a user_parameter of that where_clause. now i am trying to pass this parameter, from the form to generate a report btw'n dates. please sugest me if there is any other way, or correct me if i am on the right path, here is the code that i am calling from the form.
    DECLARE
    pl_id ParamList;
    --repid REPORT_OBJECT;
    --v_rep VARCHAR2(100);
    BEGIN
    pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');

    Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
    END IF;
    pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');

    I am gettting an error saying FRM-41211: Integration error:ssl failure running another product.
    this error is comming when i try to access for the first time, and
    Starting report REPORT34 [Tue Jul 24 16:35:14 2001] ...

    End report REPORT34 [Tue Jul 24 16:35:20 2001].
    this for the next time, with out closing runtime env.
    If i have to use RUN_REPORT_OBJECT how can i pass parameters to reports.
    Another thing i encountered is when i am using RUN_REPORT_OBJECT which is working it shows me the parameter form of the reports and when i click on run report, it is just creating a file under forms directory and asking each time when i run report wether to replace it or not and from where it is calling the printer object and actually nothing is being printed, and every thing is fine with the printer and it is not showing the report out put and it shows end of report in the log file of the background report product.

    For your 1st problem it seems to be a bug in Forms 6i - you can visit this site:
    http://pipetalk.revealnet.com/~plsql/
    and find there 41211.

  • Passing multiple character values from parameter form to PL/SQL

    Hi,
    I am passing multiple character values from parametr form into
    the report query and a PL/SQL procedure. It works fine with the
    query, when I use &variable. But, it doesn't compile in PL/SQL,
    so I just used the :variable, but not getting any records in the
    PL/SQL procedure. Any suggestions?
    sincerely,
    gj

    gj / Fedro,
    Only using the &referecne, you can pas a string / multiple character values and this would work for query only.
    The bind parameter in PL/SQL wouls support only single value

    Olan,
    Your code looks good, and it should work.
    Maybe you should check your report to make sure it is under oralce report path, user-defined parameters in the report are same name, type,lengh as in the form parameters, and correct system parameters.
    good luck.

  • Calling a Report from a Form

    I have uploaded my form to the app server and compiled to Linux. I have copied my RDF file to the reports_path/demo directory. I can run the report via a link from our portal using the URL as follows:
    /reports/rwservlet?report=IndRpt.rdf&desformat=pdf&destype=cache&userid=' target="_blank"
    That opens the report in a separate window, which is what we want. So far, so good.
    I can run the form via a link from our portal as well using the URL as follows:
    /forms/frmservlet?config=bsc_ind
    The config section hides all the form parameters very nicely.
    In the portal, I created a Report Server Access portlet, REP_OMHAST2_MIDTIER, and use the following set_report_object calls in my form:
    repid := find_report_object('IndRep');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE,BATCH);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_COMM_MODE,SYNCHRONOUS);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESTYPE,CACHE);
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_DESFORMAT,'PDF');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTYrepid,REPORT_SERVER,'rep_omhast2_midtier');
    SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(repid,REPORT_OTHER,ls_param);
    v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
    rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(v_rep);
    WHILE rep_status in ('RUNNING','OPENING_REPORT','ENQUEUED') LOOP
    rep_status := report_object_status(v_rep);
    END LOOP;
    IF rep_status = 'FINISHED' THEN
    /*Display report in the browser*/
    WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('http://omhast2.omh.state.ny.us:7777/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||
    substr(v_rep,instr(v_rep,'_',-1)+1)||'?'||'server=rep_omhast2_midtier ','_blank');
    All that comes right out of the white paper.
    Now here's the weird part, I have never seen this before. When I click my "Show Report" button in my form, the report seems to be running, but then I get a very strange dark grey, square icon superimposed over my mouse pointer. The icon has a small yellow "starburst" pattern with a tiny red exclamation point inside. The report does not appear on screen.
    Incidentally, all of this works correctly when I run the same scenario on my workstation using the call to rwserver as: rwserver server=rep_omhast2_midtier. But when we port it to the app server, it does not run. I think it has to be in the way the form calls the report because the report will run as a stand-alone object.
    Anything apparent to anyone out there?

    Well, it looks like I stumped the band. And with good reason. Sorry for the error. The problem was that the user running the form and the report had a pop-up blocker that was blocking the report. The form and the report ran from another machine. I allowed pop-ups from the report's URL and that enabled the report to appear.
    So, here we have another example of how to call a report from a form. Again, I am sorry for any angst this may have caused.
