Summary

How to pass parameters to an ExecXmlpReport function

Content

Hi All, I found this code to merge 2 BIP reports into 1. It works great for 2 separate reports with 2 separate data sources. Below I am combining WYES001 and WYES001A into a merged pdf report. However, one of my BIP reports requires a parameter.

I am trying to pass the parameter SIC_CODE . 

It's not clear from this reference how the parameters from the Query get passed to the XML file. 

Reference:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E41633_01/pt853pbh1/eng/pt/txml/task_RunningReportsUsingPeopleCode-4f7f77.html

I've tried...

     /* fill query runtime prompt record */
      &rcdQryPrompts = &oRptDefn.GetPSQueryPromptRecord();
      If Not &rcdQryPrompts = Null Then
         &oRptDefn.SetPSQueryPromptRecord(&rcdQryPrompts);
      End-If;

but that just generates an empty report.

    finally fixed this...

    see for reference: http://pplsoftlearner.blogspot.com/2013/03/xml-publisher-passing-run-control.html

    just had to declare the prompt variables:

    &ReportName1 = "WYES001";
          &oRptDefn = create PSXP_RPTDEFNMANAGER:ReportDefn(&ReportName1);
          &oRptDefn.Get();
          
          rem MERGER_AET.SIC_CODE;
          
          /* fill query runtime prompt record */
          &rcdQryPrompts = &oRptDefn.GetPSQueryPromptRecord();
          /*MOD1- BEGIN added prompt field for state record value to be inserted into report- sfs*/
          &FieldName1 = &rcdQryPrompts.GetField(1).Name;
          
          /* MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, "The First field name is : " | &FieldName1); */
          
          &rcdQryPrompts.GetField(1).Value = MERGER_AET.SIC_CODE;
          
          /*MOD1-END*/
          
          If Not &rcdQryPrompts = Null Then
             &oRptDefn.SetPSQueryPromptRecord(&rcdQryPrompts);
          End-If;
          
          &oRptDefn.Debug = False;
          &oRptDefn.OutDestination = &tempdir;
          
          &oRptDefn.ProcessInstance = &ProcessInstance;
          &oRptDefn.SetRuntimeDataXMLFile(&tempdir | &sdirSep | &fileName);
          &oRptDefn.ProcessReport("", &LanguageCd, %Date, "PDF");
          &oRptDefn.Close();
