I have a dashboard report which pulls data from masterfiles and also have SQL reports.
I need to ristrict users of different groups to see only those records from the tables which has GRP_ID = . GRP_ID being a column in all the tables.
Is there a inbuilt focus variable which i can use as a where(in where/if statement) clause to all the reports in the dashboard so that the value of the variable would be applied to the report at runtime with the groupID of the user.

I woudl suggest one of two approaches. If each user can only be a member of one group, 

 
TABLE FILE security_table
PRINT GRP_ID
WHERE USER_ID EQ &IBIMR_user
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPGRP FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-READ TEMPGRP GRP.Ann.


&GRP would hold the group id for that user
and you can use 

 
WHERE GRP_ID EQ &GRP;

or, if a user can be a member of multiple groups:
 

TABLE FILE security_table
PRINT GRP_ID
WHERE USER_ID EQ &IBIMR_user
ON TABLE HOLD AS TEMPGRP FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN


and use

 
WHERE GRP_ID IN FILE TEMPGRP


In either case, just use a -INCLUDE to put the query that creates TEMPGRP in the begining of each report fex, and the appropriate where statement along with the other where's.
