We're migrating from PRO*C to Oracle Reports. I am a new employee and am clueless how to proceed. My boss says he doesn't *know* PRO*C. It seems to be taking upto 11 arguments and I don't know what these arguments are. Should I ask the client? I want to avoid doing so unless I am absolutely sure I cannot solve this on my own.

Is there a standard procedure to be followed when migrating to any Oracle tool from an existing Oracle tool? Please guide me in this regard.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Copy the Report's Query from Pro*C code into Report builder Data modeler.
Make us of User parameters for the input parameters.

E.g.
Your query receives a Deptno from the calling Program,
So create a User parameter in your Report & use it as follows in your query:

Select * from DEPT
where deptno=:Deptno;

Note that user parameter DEPTNo is used as :DEPTNO in the query.
If you need to pass large where clause the make use of Lexical parameters i.e.
Make a User parameter P_QUERY in your report & then use it as follows:
Select * from dept
&P_QUERY;

HTH
Regards
Himanshu
