[CLOSED] InfoAssist: multiple parameter values in textbox
Hi,
When creating a parameter in InfoAssist, you have the ability to either make it a textbox (static) or a listbox (dynamic) --> How can a user choose multiple values in a static parameter (textbox)?
Example: report prompting for list of terminals, but without using a listbox as that would result in way too many values...
So far, each time I try this, I get a generated SQL with TERMINAL = 'a,b,c' instead of TERMINAL IN ('a','b','c') Note: scope of the question is InfoAssist - not DevStudio

Hi Peter,
From our technicals: There is a New Feature Request addressing this issue.
Workarounds:
Only for a text field:
I was able to make the prompt work in the following manner:
1 - Create a filter, Open ==> Simple. 2 - Select Prompt menu item and select ==> Prompt using text input(Simple). 3 - Run the report and enter the following in the text box: ENGLAND' OR 'JAPAN
Note you have to leave out the first and last single quote. This is not a pretty workaround.
Or another account added a filter multiple times so that he had three prompts for the account number for example be careful to have unique parameter names.
Cheers,
Kerry
