In one of PL/SQL program units you're about to write and invoke from one of report's triggers (for example, AFTER PARAMETER FORM, BEFORE REPORT, ...), or directly from a trigger.

Actually the scenario is that I have a report in which suppose a list of names is there. I want another report called on the basis of a name selected by passing that name_id as a parameter to the called report.

In Reports 6i that is easily done by a BUTTON. But i am unable to find a solution here.

Hope its clear now.

specify 'PL/SQL' in the filter type of your calling report's query and insert the srw.run_report parameters in the pl/sql filter.

SRW.RUN_REPORT
('REPORT=name_the_report
parameter_name='||:column_name);

you second report should be ready to acccept the parameter from the calling report.

your second report will be invoked by the srw.run_report package.

since you put srw.run_report in the group's pl/sql filter for every field retrieve from your query it will execute the srw.run_report commands.

then if i have 10 records on a report, 10 reports 'll be called ?

in this case its of no use for me.

my requirments are a bit different. i want to invoke report at will against any record of my choice.

So write a FORM instead (not report); display records in a tabular data block. Create a "Print report" button and run report for the current record.

does it mean that your query's result will be the reports name?
if that is so, just specify that the report is equal to that field.
