SQL*Forms question - Key trigger for spawning report.

Hello!

I have a question...I have written an Oracle Form (Forms 3.0 I think) and I would like the user to have the option to generate a report if he/she hit a certain key (say, the F6 key for example). Is this possible?

It doesn't really matter what the key is, as long as it is (a) easy for a user to remember, and (b) doesn't interfere with normal Forms operations.

I also need to know how to pass the appropriate parameters to the report. For example, I would like to pass the contents of :MASTER.LOCATION_CODE and :MASTER.REPORTING_MONTH (both of which are char fields in the master block of my form). How is this information passed to a RPT file?

Oh...btw I am doing this on a VAX VMS system so the passing parameters business would have to be a DCL-based solution.

Thanks in advance!
