Title: Dummy parameter in report
Post by: sunny bachan prasad on 07 Aug 2015 05:43:53 AM
Hi Gurus,
i am using relational package and have oracle as database for report.In my project SDK is passing all the parameter value to the report(which is fixed in number.Currently it is 3).
Now problem is that java code has been written for SDK to pass the value to report before we started building our report.Now my current report have only two parameter but SDK is passing value for three parameter.
Is it possible to create a dummy parameter in the report so that extra parameter value will be taken care by that dummy parameter.
Please share your experience.Thanks in Advance :(

I guess so, yes.

You could add a filter, for example, that uses the expression ?Param3? = ?Param3?
