how we can pass a parameter from the caster schedule to a report?

For example, if we have a query in a report that is using partner_id=109 in the WHERE clause
and we want to make this report generic and pass in the partner_id when it is casted
How can we do that?

A working example would be helpful

Hi Mubbashir,

How you want to pass the parameter.
1. Using HTML Composer page.
2. Direct procedure.


Thanks!

Rifaz Thanks for your reply
There is the parameter tab, but how can i pass the parameters to report?
I meant to say how can i include them in WHERE Clause??
I can put the static value there but
It don't prompt for value, which i want it to be set as dynamically.

Rifaz Thank You
What should be the format of multiple values?
Either it should be comma separated or any other format?

It appends OR based on your WHERE. I'm afraid, i understood your query. You can have multiple conditions if you want to add parameters.

Rifaz i tried the way you told me
it works
but actually what i want to say is
it there any way around where the report can prompt for value and i can enter a dynamic value instead of specifying it in parameter tab?

You meant, after scheduling?

Report Caster works in the way, when Reporting server runs procedure, it retrieves the data, creates the report & returns to the Distribution Server which distributes the report.
