See Subash,

I have told you properly that I have attached a notepad to my reply, I didnt tell you any thing else in my reply I just given you a notepad as an attachement to my reply, what you have to do is... you just download that notepad and open it in your Report Studio, then you will be able to see a sample report with the same scenario, which I have created by using Gosales package for your reference, just go through the report you will come to know every thing.

Please let me know, if you dont know how to open the report by using that notepad.

Venu.

1).
A). In REport Studio, after you have defined your report, click Tools menu and select Copy to Clipboard.
B). Start Notepad, and paste the clipboard into notepad

2). Ummm... everything in Cognos 8 is saved/stored in XML in the Content Store

3). Good luck with that... Cognos built these tools to save you from having to code that way, but if you are able to and want to, have at it.

- To put your manually created report XML into a Report Studio report, again, select Tools menu and select Insert Report Spec from Clipboard.
