Re: Directory of the Forms application

Hello Erika,
try this function:

FUNCTION workdir RETURN varchar2 IS

   formname varchar2(12);
   path_und_formname varchar2(200);

begin
  path_und_formname := Get_application_property(current_form);   return(substr(path_und_formname,1,instr(path_und_formname, '\',-1,1))); end;

Then you can call your report with
Run_Product(REPORTS, workdir || generation_result', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME, FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
