Check under:

WebFOCUS Administration Console > Configuration > Parameter Prompting

ibi_wfdescribe is probably set to OFF. Changing its value to something like XMLRUN will enable prompting on reporting server procedures. Please check documentation for other possible values depending on what you need to achieve.

quote:
"RPTNAME";

If that variable is unimportant to you you can 
 -DEFAULT &RPTNAME = 'FOC_NONE'

or use FOC_NULL once they get rid of the old one.
It will ignore the ENTIRE where statement that references that variable including any other AND or OR's attached to it.

All that did was populate the input box with the work foc_none.
jsData.ampers[i].name = "RPTNAME";
jsData.ampers[i].fieldName = jsData.ampers[i].name;// "Field" + i;
jsData.ampers[i].type = "default";
if( jsData.ampers[i].type == "unresolved" || jsData.ampers[i].type == "default" || jsData.ampers[i].type == "prompt" )
jsData.ampers[i].inForm = 1;
else
jsData.ampers[i].inForm = 0;
jsData.ampers[i].format = "";
jsData.ampers[i].min = "";
jsData.ampers[i].max = "";
jsData.ampers[i].strDef = 'FOC_NONE';
