Unable to run reports from forms using run_report_object

Question

Hi All,
I am unable to run a report(9i) from forms(9i) in client side.
I used the following code
Declare
     repid REPORT_OBJECT;
     v_rep varchar2(100);
     rep_status varchar2(20);
Begin     
     repid := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('report4');
     v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(repid);
End;
I get the following error
FRM-41219 : Cannot find report:invalid ID.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Sanjay

Sanjay Hi
You have to create a report object within the form.
If you look at the Object NAvigator in the Form Builder right below Record Group
tou would see an option for Report. Create a new report object.
Set the following properties for that object
Filename - This should be the name of your RDF file you created from Report Builder along with the full path.
Set the Execution Mode, Communication Mode and Report Destination Type as per your requirements.
In the parameter for find_report_object() pass the name of the report object you created.
eg.
if the name of the report object you created is Report2 then
your call should be rep_id := find_report_object('Report2') .
You are calling the report object which has been created in your form builder and through that call you are running the report file specified in the Filename property of that report object.
