Report : Bind Variable in "CODE" report

Question

Hi guys,
I was wondering if any of you could help me with this report?
Imagine the following scenario:
I have this table:
CREATE TABLE my_report_table
my_id NUMBER(15),
my_var VARCHAR2(100),
my_name VARCHAR2(100),
my_other_stuff VARCHAR2(100)
INSERT INTO my_report_table(my_id, my_var, my_name)
VALUES(1, 'some_parameter', 'my name');And I have this "code" as report
DECLARE
  my_parameter VARCHAR2(100) := 'some_parameter';
  TYPE T_my_report_table IS TABLE OF my_report_table%ROWTYPE;
  res T_my_report_table := T_my_report_table();
BEGIN
  SELECT *
    BULK COLLECT INTO res
    FROM my_report_table
   WHERE my_var = my_parameter;
   IF res.COUNT > 0 THEN
     FOR i IN res.FIRST .. res.LAST LOOP
       DBMS_OUTPUT.put_line('Result : ' || res(i).my_id || ', ' || res(i).my_var || ', '  || res(i).my_name);
     END LOOP;
   END IF;
END;
/By code report, I mean a report and I select the "Code" style in the combobox (Table, Chart, Gauge...). What I would like to do is that instead of having the variable "my_parameter", I have it as a bind. But when I edit the report and add a Binds like this (and remove the variable definition in the code):
Name   :  :MY_PARAMETER
Prompt :  :MY_PARAMETER
Default :  DEF
Tooltip: <none>When I open the report, it only shows a gray panel. No exception, noting... Can anyone help me to bind parameters with a CODE report?
Also, I have another question, is it possible to DUMP the select of a SELECT in a report without having to SELECT it into a CURSOR and parse it myself?
THanks,

Hi,
You cannot have bind variables in additional plsql code.
