Passing parameters to reports from forms.

Question

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);
