I am a bit confused in the difference between a Prompt macro and a value prompt.
What are the Situations when we can use a prompt(prompt many) macro?
Request you to please explain this in detail.It will be beneficial to me.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
A value prompt is a report object that you drag in from the toolbox. It sets a parameter, which can often be used in a filter expression or even in a calculation which includes a prompt macro.
A prompt macro is code within an expression that asks for a parameter value to be set, and substitutes the resolved parameter (and often more syntax) into the expression. It can either result in a default prompt to fulfil the parameter value, or it can be used in league with a defined value prompt to fulfil the parameter value (or any other desired prompt type)
Cheers!
