cgicmd.dat file usage

110755Oct 30 2003 — edited Feb 5 2004
Hi,

I am generating my reports using the cgicmd.dat file in pdf format and my application is in web-based html.

I have a report which passes 4 paramters and 2 of it is considered imortant (and dynamic according to user interaction in the begining) and should not be changed by the users. I have found out that by using the parameter forms like %P, %PT and %PC entry in the cgicmd.dat file would means that I cannot use other user parameters in the file entry, and so also in the reverse situation.

But when I tried to put both of them (%P and %1..%4 for user parameters) together, then call up the reports with the parameter values included in the entry (like http://server/repserver/?repname+value1+v2+v3+v4), I seems to be able to pass the important values to the displayed parameter form while hiding them and asking the users to enter only the other 2 parameters which they may change.

But then, when I submit the form, it gave me an error:
======================================================
Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot be served at this time.

Oracle Reports Server CGI - Error occurred while parsing the Reports Server command line.
======================================================

May anyone assist me on how I can make use of the parameter form and also passing in some values that are dynamic and cannot be changed by the users?

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
