hi all,

i am using forms 9i and reports 9i and in the report i have a parameter named remarks where i have to send the remarks from the form itself and
while sending the parameter i am sending it like below

add_parameter_list(pl_id,'P_remark',text_parameter,:Block.Item);


in the :Block.Item i am entering as "This is fine". this is giving an error as
1) unable to run report,
2) unable to get job status,.. etc..

but if i give it as "ThisIsFine" this is not an error and giving showing the report.

what is the mistake i made in sending the parameter.
P_remark is parameter in report and length is 200 characters.
:Block.Item is also char 200 in forms.

thanks for the help.,]

aditya

hello aditya,

i was allocated a system temporarily which doesn't have reports,
but i tried the same with two forms.it is working fine.try the same with reports

form1
with text box and button

on when-button-pressed

declare
pl paramlist;
begin
if id_null(pl) then
pl:=create_parameter_list('simple');
add_parameter(pl,'param',text_parameter,:block3.text_item4);
call_form('d:\jslakshmi\frm2.fmx',no_hide,no_replace,query_only,pl);
end if;
end;

form2
with a textbox and a parameter named param.

in when-new-form-instance

declare
pl paramlist;
begin
pl:=get_parameter_list('simple');
:block3.text_item4:=:parameter.param;
end;

instead of when-new-form-instance you use corresponding report triggers.

this document http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10g/frmrepparamform.pdf
describes a limitation where the value contains blanks and suggests some plsql code, there isn't much detail but it might be a starting point for you

Solution :

1)
add_parameter_list(pl_id,'P_remark',text_parameter,:Block.Item);

Use the following instead of the above :

add_parameter_list(pl_id,'P_remark',text_parameter,''''||:Block.Item||'''');

Reason :
If You pass a string(more than one words or with space), you must enclose the string within single quotes.

2)

This will also work

set_report_object_property(report_object_id,report_other,'P_remark='''||:Block.Item||'''');

We had problem with embedded quotes in are data.

one more solution... this is what we do for all parameters.


Add_Parameter(pl_id,
'P_Name',
TEXT_PARAMETER,
replace( :block1.NAME,'''',''''''));
