Is there a way to use some values from 1 dataset (which returns only 1 row
of data) to be used as input for another dataset? The required values from
the 1st dataset does not appear on the report, therefore, I could not
follow what was shown in subreport example.
E.g. 1st dataset returns DocNo and Date. I want to be able to use DocNo as
an input for 2nd dataset.
The report builder is confined to 2.1.0 version.

Yes, you can use a "value" from a query to drive another query. Results
aren't actually retrieved until a bound element is called int he report
generation. If you create a table with the outer query, and in one of
the detail rows, embed the inner query, you can use the the onRender of
the outer table to set the parameter. I have attached a report design
that demonstrated this. Look at the onRender method for the table.

To help out, what I did in that report is I embedded the table
outputting one data set into a parent table for the driving data set. In
the onRender method (the onCreate method could be used also), I set a
global parameter which is set to hidden and not required, using the
following script:
params["param_1"] = row["CUSTOMERNUMBER"]
where param_1 is a report parameter that is bound to my child dataset,
and CUSTOMERNUMBER is a foreign key in the child table. Now, the outer
table, which displays a list of customers, will populate the current
customer number into the child table.
There are several different ways to do this similar task, but this is
probably the easiest.
John
