orig_env IN OUT NOCOPY format_param_values)
RETURN BOOLEAN;
TBD
 
TRANSFORM_HTML_TO_TEXT
Undocumented: For internal use only says Oracle but this is both easy and valuable as it does what appears to be a good validation. Write bad HTML and you'll see how well it works. dbms_report.transform_html_to_text(
document     IN XMLTYPE,
max_linesize IN POSITIVE)
RETURN CLOB;
DECLARE
 x XMLTYPE;
 c CLOB;

                  </head>
                  <body>
                    this is a test
                  </body>
                </html>');

Undocumented dbms_report.transform_report_xml(
report_xml  IN XMLTYPE,
zlib2base64 IN BINARY_INTEGER := 1)

TBD
 
VALIDATE_REPORT
Applies the XML schema registered with the framework corresponding to the report specified to verify a correct build dbms_report.validate_report(report IN XMLTYPE);
TBD
 
ZLIB2BASE64_CLOB
