Hi there,
Am trying to pass a parameter in reports 6i in the following format:
select pagname from mytable
where pagname like '%CLEANER%'--This works correctly.
select pagname from mytable --This retrieves no record
where pagname like :P_1
I want to generalize the report so that the parameter will accept other inpuuts from the user.
What is the proper way of achieving this result?
please help.

If you are using the Report Wizard, when you create your Query with the WHERE PAGNAME LIKE :P_1 clause, it should generate a parameter form for you, if you then run the report and type %CLEANER% in as the P_1 parameter it should give the same results as running
select pagname from mytable
where pagname like '%CLEANER%'
from the command line. Your users just need to be informed how to input the parameter properly.
