Passing parameters to Custom Links via Apex

Hi, I come across a need to fill this requirement.

1. Create a custom Link that will redirect users to a custom report - DONE
2. Apex code to pass the parameter for the report to the custom link

Can anybody give me an idea how to do step #2?

Thanks :)

Plase the report id in custom lable and use it in the apex code. it is best pratice in salesforce. you know report ids are vary in production. so it is better to user custom lables in apex code.
pv0 is the parameter for filter condition in report. make sure in your report, filter condition is equal to null. throught apex code we will pass value for it.use this based on your requirement.

if(Type == 'Projects'){
   window.open('/{!$Label.ProjectReportID}?pv0='+PathValue);
} else
{
 //error meaasge...

Hi Kimar,

Thanks for the swift response. This is how I pass the values to the custom label in my method:

        string url = '/{!$Label.HEIMS_Label}?pv0=' + euosToReport;
        return new PageReference(url);

Note:
- euosToReport = values to pass
- HEIMS_Label = custom label containing the report Id

However, I get a URL No Longer exists issue whenever the method runs. I think I'm passing it incorrectly.

What I want is this:
- store the report Id to a custom label together with the value needed (OK)
- pass this updated custom label to the custom link I made in the Home tab

NOTE: I don't want them to be redirected after code execution. I just made it to redirect for testing purposes so my previous answer can be disregarded. :)

@Warjle, 
Use onclick attribute in command link tag in VF page and call script function. in script you need to use window.open method for new tab, return report URL.

@Warjle,
Refere the below code. and also see "OpenReportWindow" script function.
