Using Roles on Forms4.5/Reports2.5

   Hi there!

  I'm working on Forms4.5 and i'm having some problems with the use of roles when trying to call reports from a form.  I use the built-in RUN_PRODUCT to call the report i want to execute.

 The problem is that the report uses the user already logged on Forms to connect to ORACLE (wich is what i want), but as we use roles to grant privileges to users, i'm forced to put in the trigger Before Parameter Form the statment ( a little "ugly" ):

                    SRW.Do_Sql(set role <role> identified by <pass>');

 I know i could pass a parameter with the role itself (maybe taken from a global variable...) but is there a way to execute reports on the same session as the one already open in the Forms?

 Thanks in advance
