Parameter Passing from Forms to Reports

[Quoted] [Quoted] Can someone help me out with this problem? I am using Oracle Forms 5.0 and [Quoted] Oracle Reports 3.0. I have had success in passing parameters from forms to reports, using the user parameters in my where clause for the default query in Reports.. However, now I need to allow the user to select multiple values [Quoted] and pass them as a string into one parameter, thus using that parameter in the where clause (in an IN statement).. For example, my default query looks like this:
select * from a_acgo
where ac_podada >= :beg_date and ac_podada <= :end_date
and ac_msn in (select chm_msn
from a_chnl_msn
where chm_chnl in (:chnl));
:chnl is a text string that I have concatenated from the values in an LOV that [Quoted] is populated by the user at runtime... So the data that is passed looks like this:
NGUBAH','BAHRAN','NGUSIZ [Quoted] I purposely left off the first and last quotes, because reports will put quotes around the parameter when I use it in the query. So that the query SHOULD look like this when populated with the parameters:
select * from a_acgo
where ac_podada >= '01-JAN-99' and ac_podada <= '01-MAR-99'
and ac_msn in (select chm_msn
from a_chnl_msn
where chm_chnl in ('NGUBAH','BAHRAN','NGUSIZ'));
This doesn't work... I ran the same query at the SQL prompt and it works with no problems, but the report doesn't return any values... I have tried using the (' ') in the parameter, but that would add quotes around the ()... [Quoted] I have exhausted every approach that I knew of... Does anybody know if you [Quoted] can use the IN clause with passed parameters? I could use a parameter for each channel, but that would mean that i would have to limit the number of channels that they can choose, and i'd rather not do that... In forms, there [Quoted] are system variables that I can access with the debugger that tell me what the last query looked like when it ran, but i don't see any system variables [Quoted] in the debugger with reports... If I could see the query after it is populated, I could isolate the problem... Can somebody help me with this....
[Quoted] Thanks for your help.. I have spent way too much time trying to figure this one out.....
