SRW server package error.

Question

Apps server 9i r2
I am attempting to run reports using the SRW package which has bee installed in the database but I am getting an incompatibilty between the date format the SRW package is expecting and the date returned from invoking SRW.run_report when the package tries to convert the queued tag into its expected format. The code is;
l_Paramlist := srw_paramlist(srw_parameter('','')) ;
srw.clear_parameter_list(l_Paramlist);     
srw.add_parameter(l_Paramlist, 'GATEWAY', 'http://app/reports/rwservlet') ;srw.add_parameter(l_Paramlist, 'SERVER', 'rep_app) ;
srw.add_parameter(l_Paramlist, 'REPORT', 'd:/client/bin/REP0080.REP') ;
srw.add_parameter(l_Paramlist, 'USERID', 'user/pwd') ;
srw.add_parameter(l_Paramlist, 'DESTYPE', 'MAIL') ;
srw.add_parameter(l_Paramlist, 'DESNAME', 'user, add) ;
srw.add_parameter(l_Paramlist, 'DESFORMAT', 'HTML') ;
l_Ident := srw.run_report(l_Paramlist) ;
But I get the following error with trace turned on;
Getting value for element: queued
*** Requesting value for TAG queued [07/07/03 15:48]
l_Paramlist SRW_PARAMLIST ;
ERROR at line 2:
ORA-01849: hour must be between 1 and 12
ORA-06512: at "SYS.SRW", line 290
ORA-06512: at "SYS.SRW", line 774
ORA-06512: at line 19
It appears that the SRW package only accepts dates in the format of MM/DD/YY HH:MI AM which is a problem because the XML is returning the date in the format of DD/MM/YY HH24:MI.
If the problem is that the application server is not setup properly what should I do to rectify the problem.

Hi,
We are using Form/Report 6i.
I tried "SRW.RUN_REPORT in After Report Trigger" with DESTYPE=FILE and it run & created FILE successfully.
But when I tried with DESTYPE=SCREEN,it show error.
Actually, we have 02 reports. We want to use SRW.RUN_REPORT in After Report Trigger in 1st report, so that 2nd report run automatically.
I didn't find any solution in my previous query, but  sending again this query with the hope of getting solution.
Kindly guide me.
Thanks.

Call/Run Report from a Report! 
Please check the restriction of
SRW.RUN_REPORTS
1    If you want parameter values that are entered on the Runtime Parameter Form to be passed in the RWRUN60 string, you must call SRW.RUN_REPORT after the before form trigger.
2   The string that is specified for or passed to this procedure must follow the syntax and case-sensitivity rules for your operating system.
3    No userid should be specified for the SRW.RUN_REPORT procedure.  The userid is inherited by the "calling" report.
4    If the parent report that invokes SRW.RUN_REPORT is run in batch, then DESTYPE can only be File, Printer, Sysout, or Mail.  Otherwise, DESTYPE can be File, Printer, or Mail.
5    If SRW.RUN_REPORT is used in the PL/SQL for a button, the Runtime Parameter Form will not appear by default when the button is selected.  If you want the Runtime Parameter Form to appear, you must specify PARAMFORM=YES in the call to SRW.RUN_REPORT.
