ADD_PARAMETER(LIST_ID,'DESTYPE',TEXT_PARAMETER,'PRINTER');
ADD_PARAMETER(LIST_ID,'DESNAME',TEXT_PARAMETER,'//INB/CARTA/'||V_FILENAME);
ADD_PARAMETER(LIST_ID,'DESFORMAT',TEXT_PARAMETER,'NO');

Hi,
From Metalink:
You can resolve the problem following these steps:
1 - In Reports Builder you must select Tools-> Parameter Form Builder;
2 - Here you must select Destype and Desname parameters;
3 - Run Report;
4 - When the Parameter Form page appears, you must set
Destination Type=Printer.
This will automatically change the Destination Name parameter
to the Printer Name.
Example : \\RM-PRINT\rm-floor3-04
5 - You must copy this name (CTRL+C);
6 - Then in Forms Builder you must go into trigger that fires the
report.
7 - Paste print name (CTRL+V) into DESNAME parameter.
In this example, the name 'rm-floor3-01' was wrong.
Use '\\RM-PRINT\rm-floor3-04' as shown below.
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'No');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'DESTYPE', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'Printer');
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'DESNAME', TEXT_PARAMETER,'\\RM-PRINT\rm-floor3-04');
run_product(REPORTS,'prova.rdf',SYNCHRONOUS,RUNTIME,FILE);
END;
Now you do not get error REP-713 because you have specified correct the printer name.
Thanks,
Bhujendra
