Hi

I am using report developer 10g on windows xp.

I need a cascading prompt style dynamic LOVs in my report parameter form.
The first LOV displays a set of values (say for eg. dept list). The second LOV will display another list, based on the value chosen by the user in the first LOV (Eg. List of employee names in that dept).

My first LOV select statement may look like below for the user parameter say P_DEPT

select deptno from dept;


My sencod LOV select stmnt may look like below for the user parameter P_EMP

select ename from emp where deptno = :P_DEPT

Each time I try to set the second LOV, report developer complains "Bind variables not allowed in select statement"

Same error msg comes if I reference the first user parameter(P_DEPT) as a lexical parmaeter.


How do I acheive the above in report parameter form? Any help is appreciated greatly...

Thanks
Suma

Hi Suma,

It is better to create use forms as parameter form for report. since I think this flexibility is not with Reports.

You can use 'run product' utility for calling the report from form.

Hope this will help you.
