Can someone please send me a document of how i create a Tree prompt in Report Studio.

For eg: I want to create a prompt that has 2 levels of hirerarchy: Region & sub-region....something like what is listed below:

East
    NY
    NJ
West
    LA
South
    FL

thanx

In ReportNet a tree prompt isn't possible...

It can be done.  You have to create a query subject in Framework Manager that will hold the values.  Then create a prompt from that query subject.  You have to be a little creative but it can be done.  Here's the SQL from one query subject that I used as a "tree" prompt.  Also, see attached screenshot.

Search in the IBM website, They have described it very beautifully.
