Suhail,
Add a Report Object In the form Under the Reports section in the Object Navigator View. And in the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger, write
DECLARE
     RO_Report_ID          REPORT_OBJECT;
     Str_Report_Server_Job VARCHAR2(100);
     Str_Job_ID            VARCHAR2(100);
     Str_URL               VARCHAR2(100);
BEGIN
     RO_Report_ID := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('<report_object_name>');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_FILENAME, '<report_file_name>');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_COMM_MODE, SYNCHRONOUS);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, BATCH);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_DESTYPE, FILE);
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_DESFORMAT, 'PDF');
     SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(RO_Report_ID, REPORT_SERVER, '<report_server_name>');
     Str_Report_Server_Job := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(RO_Report_ID, PL_ID);
     Str_Job_ID := SUBSTR(Str_Report_Server_Job, LENGTH('<report_server_name>') + 2, LENGTH(Str_Report_Server_Job));
     Str_URL       := '/reports/rwservlet/getjobid' || Str_Job_ID || '?server=<report_server_name>';
     WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT(Str_URL, '_SELF');
END;Regards,
Manu.
