Answer 1

u can solve this problem with lexical parameter.
create a user parameter and use it as lexcical parameter.
create a ur on form with form builder instead of report default parameter form and run reprport with parameters.
here is an exmple that i used.
if :Month is not null and :year is not null and :sjnl_no is not null then
declare
plist paramlist;
begin
plist := get_parameter_list ('list_1');
if not id_null(plist) then
destroy_parameter_list (plist);
end if;
plist := create_parameter_list ('list_1');
add_parameter (plist, 'P_where', text_parameter,'and (doc_no='||:SJNL_NO||')and to_char(doc_date,''MON-YYYY'')='''||:MONTH||'-'||:Year||'''');
add_parameter (plist, 'DESTYPE', text_parameter,:des_type);
     run_product(REPORTS,'sale_journal', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, plist);
exit_form;
end;
else
          Message ('Select Moth, Year and Document No. first.');
end if;
