Hi,

Is there a way to access a pre-defined parameter map with some parameter?

Let's say I have the  following parameter map, which called "SampleMap"

1	A
2	B
3	C

And I want to create a filter based on this parameter map, and I want to referenct it with parameter ('param') from my prompt page.

I want to do something like -

#$SampleMap{#sq(prompt('param','string'))#}# = {some condition}

But it doesn't pass validation, due to wrong syntax.

Any suggestions ?

You only need hashes (#) at the beginning and end of a macro expression. Get rid of the ones around the prompt.

Second, a string parameter in the prompt will always return a a value inside two single quotes. You don't need the SQ there.

Thanks
