What's use of a Master Detail report in Cognos? I mean what's the advantage? Please Explain.

Master Detail is used to deliver information that would otherwise required two or more Reports.
For example, you can combine a list with a chart.
You can use a master-detail relationship to show data from separate data sources in a single
report. However, the data sources must be contained in the same package.

Hmmmm. Another question on yet another topic. I am seriously concerned that you might be trying to obtain exam answers here. Please explain what you are trying to achieve and why all these disparate questions are relevant in one go...

MF.
Meep!
