HI,

A report was constructed using Reports 2.5 in a Windows NT environment. The .rdf file was ftped to unix and run using the r25run executable called from a shell script. This report has a lexical parameter for one of its select statements. When the report is run in Windows NT, it works fine. The &selectstr variable used as a lexical parameter works. However, when the same report is run from unix, it gives a strange error ' Unable to expand lexical parameters'. For some reason , the &selectstr variable is not getting substituted. I appreciate any solutions in this direction.

The report was fired from unix using the following command :

r25run userid/pass reportname.rdf par1= ' ' par2 = ' ' ....

Kindly reply to : shahidaa_at_usa.net

Shahida
