Mery,
If I understand correctly your application should display a report when it is called.
But first, before the report is displayed, you want to update a table, using a bind variable passed into the report when it is called. Do I understand correctly so far?
So while editing the report, in the last tab option you have (Additional PL/SQL Code), you need to put some pl/sql code into section titled '...before displaying the page.'
declare
begin
update table_x
set column_x = somevalue
where column_y = bind_variable;
end;
I haven't yet passed bind variables into reports so I'm not quite sure how to retrieve them, but I'm sure there are other postings here about that.
I'm mostly just trying to clarify if this is what your asking, and maybe somebody else can answer the rest of your questions.
Good luck.
Kurt
