Are you saying that the parameter FullTableName, is the name of a table
that contains a field with names of other tables you want to show?

Jason,
I do have name of the table stored in table (dw_description_table) in the column named physical_table_name. I also do have list of columns in table dw_description_column. Im attaching:
- sample data (Note that there is foreign key in dw_description_column (table_description_key) that links to table in dw_description_table)
- screenshot of current report - it might help you to understand my problem better.
Regards,
Tomas

In the tables that you are looking up do they all have the same column
metadata?

I assume you want to create the inner table in the report dynamically.
The only way I know how to do this is to call the data engine api in the
beforeFactory to make design changes. The beforeFactory or onPrepares
are the only location where the design can be altered in that fashion.
Take a look at this thread.
