2) O9n p"r"(eter 'it
6ou can also create #our own parameter list programmaticall# and pass it as an argument in a
+'LL)OR* or OPE()OR* or Report
6ou can use the following built-in subprograms to create and manipulate a parameter List:
ADD_PARAMETER
CREATE_PARAMETER_LIST
DELETE_PARAMETER
DESTROY_PARAMETER_LIST
GET_PARAMETER_ATTR
GET_PARAMETER_LIST
SET_PARAMETER_ATTR
Tip: 8eep in mind the following when #ou create parameter Lists:
+RE'TE)P'R'*ETER)L.ST is a function whose return 0alue is the .D of the List being created. 6ou must assign the .D to a
0ariable that #ou declared as t#pe P'R'*L.ST 9an Oracle orms data t#pe-.
' call to +RE'TE)P'R'*ETER)L.ST creates a parameter List that does not #et contain an# parameters. To add parameters to
the List" e!ecute the 'DD)P'R'*ETER procedure.
2ET)P'R'*ETER)'TTR and SET)P'R'*ETER)'TTR can be used to get and set the t#pe and 0alue of a parameter that has
been added to a parameter List with the 'DD)P'R'*ETER built-in. Do not use these built-ins to get or set the 0alue of a form
parameter that was defined at design time: instead" refer to the parameter using bind 0ariable s#nta! or indirect reference.
2ET)P'R'*ETER)L.ST is a function that returns the ParamList .D of an indicated parameter List" similar to the .(D-; functions
a0ailable for other ob/ect t#pes.
The following e!ample creates a parameter List" adds two parameters to it" and then passes the List to
a form b# wa# of the +'LL)OR* procedure:
:;
;; %ec'"re " 2"ri"b'e o& t!pe P"r"(Lit to tore

One wa# to use a parameter list is to pass the 0alue of a te!t item
that is used as a search criterion when calling another form.
'nother e!ample is to pass a 0alue to a report parameter that is used in
the ,<ERE clause to retrie0e onl# certain rows.
Suppose #ou need to pass the department number from one form 9department- to another form
9emplo#ee-:
#ou use the department number to =uer# all emplo#ees wor7ing in that
department in the emplo#ee form.

6ou can e!ecute the following code from
a ,hen-4utton-Pressed trigger or e0en from a menu item:
%ECLARE

EN%.
1) 6ou must declare an ob/ect of t#pe ParamList
%- >se the 2ET)P'R'*ETER)L.ST built-in to find out if the parameter alread# e!ists. .f it
e!ists" destro# it and recreate it. 6ou can use the DESTRO6)P'R'*ETER)L.ST built-in
to delete a parameter list.
&- 6ou can then add one or more parameters to the parameter list.
The 'DD)P'R'*ETER re=uires the following arguments:
-- The parameter list id" or parameter name
-- The name of the parameter being created
-- The parameter t#pe
-- The parameter 0alue
.n the e!ample abo0e" 5emp)=uer#5 is the name of the parameter" TE?T)P'R'*ETER is
the parameter t#pe" and :deptno is the 0alue of the parameter. : emp)=uer# gets
the 0alue from a te!t item called deptno. *ost of the parameters that #ou add
are of the t#pe TE?T)P'R'*ETER" unless #ou tr# to pass a record group.
Record group parameters must be defined as D'T')P'R'*ETER instead of
TE?T)P'R'*ETER.
To access the 0alue of a parameter in a called form" #ou must create the
following triggers in the emplo#ee form:
1) W4EN5NEW5FORM5)N*TANCE "t the &or( 'e2e'
2) PRE576ER8 tri??er "t the b'oc@ 'e2e'

.n addition" create a parameter with the same name as the parameter
that #ou are passing in the parameter list :emp)=uer#.
The application returns an error message that the parameter does not e!ist.
The following is an e!ample of two triggers needed to do a =uer# based on the
