Hello All,

I have a requirement, there are two drop down boxes in the parameter form, depending upon the value I select in first drop-down box the second drop-down box's values should change dynamically.

I am using Reports 6i, can anyone please let me know whether this is possible to do it? If so can you please let me know.

This is an immediate request, any reply is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Antro

Hi,

Please use forms6i to design the parameter form and pass the parametes from forms to the report.The Report6i parameter form is having certain limitations.You can define the parameter form in Forms 6i and using the "Run_Product" builtin call the reports with parameters.You can do all types of validations in forms.Hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks & Regards,
B.Prasad

Prasad,

Thank you very much thats a fantastic idea!

I am trying to understand how this will work! So we will not be having the parameter form in reports? How do we set the bind variables to the parameters we pass from the form to reports? In other words, how does the reports get form parameters.

It is clear that we call the report with the paramters but where and how do I catch those parameters in report?

Thanks for your precious time,
Antro

Hi,

Please you can refer the "RUN_PRODUCT" syntax examples in forms6i help.It is not difficult as you think.
Just check the following code for calling a report from froms6i with out reports parameter form.

/*
** Built-in: RUN_PRODUCT
** Example: Call a Report Builder report, passing the
** data in record group 'EMP_RECS' to substitute
** for the report's query named 'EMP_QUERY'.
** Presumes the Emp_Recs record group already
** exists and has the same column/data type
** structure as the report's Emp_Query query.
*/
PROCEDURE Run_Emp_Report IS
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
/*
** Check to see if the 'tmpdata' parameter list exists.
*/
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
/*
** If it does, then delete it before we create it again in
** case it contains parameters that are not useful for our
** purposes here.
*/
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
/*
** Create the 'tmpdata' parameter list afresh.
*/
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
/*
** Add a data parameter to this parameter list that will
** establish the relationship between the named query
** 'EMP_QUERY' in the report, and the record group named
** 'EMP_RECS' in the form.
*/
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'EMP_QUERY',DATA_PARAMETER,'EMP_RECS');
/*
**Pass a Parameter into PARAMFORM so that a parameter dialog will not appear
**for the parameters being passing in.
*/

Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
/*
** Run the report synchronously, passing the parameter list
*/
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'empreport', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;

Hope this will be helpful to u.

Bye,
