Debugging Reports

[smartcooldevil]

Hi,

I am very new to Cognos and I have been assigned to a Cognos reporting project where complex report have been developed. What is the best way or rather approach should I follow in order to debug already developed reports so that i can attain the knowledge about the them.

Also please let me know, is there any way to see the values assigned to variables/parameters while running the report?

Thanks

I am new to Cognos as well but was interested in your debugging question and this is what I found and tested:

Add a text item box to your report
Set the Source Type to "Report Expression"
Set the expression to ParamValue('parameter1')

This will display the input parameter value on the report, wherever you place the Text Box
