I saw a few postings in the newsgroup about this with no direct answer. Is  
there a way in BIRT 2.2 to use named parameters in data sets? The APIs and  
the help pages imply it is doable, but when I tried to do it in my custom  
ODA driver, the parameters are only bound by "position" and not "name" in  
the query implementation. The only work around i could think of is to ask  
the user to use a naming convention in naming the params (that include the  
position) like "param1, param2...etc", which is ugly. If there is right way  
to do this properly? If not, is it scheduled to be done in an upcoming  
version of BIRT? I appreciate your help.

Maged, 
 
Support of "named" parameters defined by an ODA driver has been added since  
BIRT 2.2.1. 
See the comments in Bugzilla  
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=122194#c7 on the specifics.
