Hi, all
I want to use a return value to be the header, is that doable? if yes, appreciate kind guidance.
Scenario:
User will be prompted to enter a parameters (which is the ID of a record).
The expected result is the NAME column of the tuple results will be displayed as the report header. (assuming only one row will be returned)
Many thanks

Create another user parameter (for example, PAR_NAME). Use input parameter value (for example, PAR_ID) in AFTER PARAMETER FORM trigger as
SELECT MAX(name) INTO :par_name
FROM some_table
WHERE id = :par_id;
Create header field and make PAR_NAME parameter to be its source.
MAX function is here to ensure only one value is returned (so that you wouldn't have to write EXCEPTION handler; however, it is better to take control over exceptions, so ... in production, think twice about it).
