Creating an application command line link using PL/SQL

Note: This procedure applies to paper-based reports output to a PDF file. This is unrelated to HTML that might be generated when you run a JSP-based Web report (when you click the Run Web Layout button in the toolbar, or choose Programright arrowRun Web Layout).

To associate a command with an object in your report using PL/SQL instead of the Property Inspector:

  1. In the Object Navigator, expand the Paper Layout node, then expand the node that contains the object with which you want to associate an application command line link.   Note: If you are defining a template, you can select objects in the Margin.   Objects in the body are unknown until the template is applied to a report.

  2. Double-click the PL/SQL icon (the PL/SQL icon) next to the object with which you want to associate an application command line link.

  3. In the PL/SQL Editor, include SRW.SET_PDF_ACTION to define the PL/SQL for the format trigger.

Restrictions

An object that is associated with an application command line link cannot also be the source of a Web link (a hyperlink).
