I am trying to use TITLE as the Parameter to get the dropdown box at the top of the Report.
WHERE TITLE EQ '&TITLE.(,).TITLE.';

But I am getting an error &TITLE not Found.

Please help me.

Please check out the use of -DEFAULT (for &TITLE) before you go any further... Post your code, sample code using an IB file (like CAR), as well

This example leaves too much work and guesswork for us to do (imho), like what's in the COMPPLAN file and what's the format of that / those fileds in the COMPPLAN file, so that we can help you arrive at a solution.

Please provide an example using a common IB file, such as the CAR File.

PS: Wrap your code in the [ code ] and [ /code ] (without the associated spaces within the brackets).

There are two ways to accomplish this kind of automatic prompting.
The first is to create your own htm file to ask for the params and have the dropdown lists populate automatically. The other way is to activate autoprompt. From the description of your entry I conclude that you do not have autoprompt enabled.

-SET &ECHO='ALL';
-*SET &T='';
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
COUNTRY
WHERE CAR EQ '&T.(FIND CAR IN CAR).CAR.';
END



This way It works... I enabled autoprompt... It fetchced me the right output with List of CARS.


Thanks,

Ramkumar.

1) Ask you admin which setting is being used for autoprompting (I'm not sure that autopromopting will be an accetapbe production solution ~ imho).

2) Are you using "-DEFAULT" with your variables?
