Oracle Reports XML tags

You can use XML tags in Oracle Reports in either of the following ways:

After you store the XML customization file in a location that is accessible to Oracle Reports, you can apply the XML customization to any report using the CUSTOMIZE command line keyword or the SRW.APPLY_DEFINITION built-in procedure, or run the XML customization by itself (if it contains a complete report definition) with the REPORT (or MODULE) command line keyword.

For more information, refer to the chapter "Customizing Reports with XML" in the Oracle Application Server Reports Services Publishing Reports to the Web manual, available on the Oracle Technology Network Oracle Reports Documentation page (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/reports.html).
