How to submit the concurrent request from PLSQL?

FND_REQUEST.SUBMIT_REQUEST buit-ins used for submit the concurrent request from PLSQL.

Syntax

DECLARE
vn_resp_appl_id NUMBER;
vn_resp_id NUMBER;
vn_user_id NUMBER;
vn_request_id NUMBER;
BEGIN

/* Getting Profile option values */
vn_resp_appl_id := apps.fnd_profile.VALUE ('RESP_APPL_ID');
vn_resp_id := apps.fnd_profile.VALUE ('RESP_ID');
vn_user_id := apps.fnd_profile.VALUE ('USER_ID');

/* Application Initialisation */
apps.fnd_global.apps_initialize (n_user_id, n_resp_id, n_resp_appl_id);

/* Concurrent request submission */
vn_request_id := apps.fnd_request.submit_request (
