Oracle 10G Run Report From Forms

The document describes issues running a report in Oracle 10g that previously worked in Oracle 8i. The code calls a report and passes parameters after a form is submitted. In 10g, the report_destype property only allows CACHE or FILE, whereas it was previously SCREEN. Setting it to CACHE has no effect, and setting it to FILE creates a 0 byte PDF file. The report runs correctly manually in the Reports Builder. The document details troubleshooting steps taken but no resolution found.

Oracle 10G run report from forms.

We just moved my development from 8i to 10g and things have overall gone smoother than
expected, as far migrating goes.
I have run in to on brick wall that I just can't seem to pick out just right. I have a form that the
user enters data in to. It then calls a report and gives stats and what-not. Everything worked in 8i.
My code looks much like this:

6 PROCEDURE print_report IS
7 pl_id PARAMLIST := GET_PARAMETER_LIST('pl_bill_report');
report_id Report_Object := FIND_REPORT_OBJECT('GenericControlTotals');
8 v_rep VARCHAR2(100);

1 SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_COMM_MODE, ASYNCHRONOUS);
1 SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_EXECUTION_MODE, RUNTIME);
1 SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id, REPORT_DESTYPE, CACHE);
2
ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id, 'p_bill_date', TEXT_PARAMETER, TO_CHAR(:bill_date,
1 'MM/YY'));
3 ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id, 'p_ctr_key', TEXT_PARAMETER, :ctr_key);
1 ADD_PARAMETER(pl_id, 'p_process_name', TEXT_PARAMETER, :p_process_name);
4
1 v_rep := RUN_REPORT_OBJECT(report_id, pl_id);

The only major difference is that report_destype used to be SCREEN, but in 10g you can only
use CACHE or FILE.
With Cache nothing happens. If I do file and give it a destination it creates the PDF, but the PDF
is 0 bytes.
If I run the Report manually in Reports Builder with paper layout everything works just fine.
I have spent hours reading over »www.oracle.com/technology/produc···w10g.pdf but don't see
that I have missed anything.
