Hello
I have a built a prompt page that has a parameter defined as 'ctype', which should hold the value the user selects from the prompt. The main report uses an SQL query and macro that will filter based on this user selected item.
How do I reference this value in my main report SQL?
I have tried things such as
where ctype = #($PromptPage1{$CType})#
where ctype = #?<CType>?#
but I don't seem to have the correct syntax. Anyone know how this should be done? Thanks.
where ctype = ?cType?
Thanks for the quick response but I get an error using :
where ctype = ?CType?

I have also tried:
= #?CType?#
= #<?CType?>#
Again, I am trying to get the SQL using macros to resolve the parameter defined in the Prompt Page's value prompt control. Thanks.
Could you post a sample built with GOSaR ? (GO Sales & Retailers)
Solved! The correct syntax is:
where (CType = #prompt('ComponentType')# )
ComponentType is the parameter defined on my prompt page.
