Hi,
Im using the BIRT report designed with a query of the form
select * from myTable where col1 = ? and col2 = ?
where I have defined two input parameters
param1 and param2 which are integers.
This works fine but if I want to do something along the lines of
select * from myTable where col1 = ? and col2 = ? and col3 < ?
it complains about binding, as I assume its confused about which parameter I am comparing against col3. Is it possible to use a parameter more than once in a query, like I want to do?
Can I reference the parameters by name rather than ? such as
select * from myTable where col1 = param1 and col2 = param2 and col3 < param2
I tried various combinations of params["param2"].value and :param2 but cant get it to work
thanks
Tom

Tom,
Either just create a 3rd parameter and set it to the same thing as the
second or drop the dataset parameters and do the query in the before
open script
this.queryText = "select * from myTable where col1 = " +
jsvar/reportparm + ....

What code do you want?

I have a report with two parameters which I match dozens of times in a query on multiple database
sources.
It's tedious matching all the ? and setting dataset param1, param2, ... all to the same report
parameter.
In the example below would the complete before open script be:
this.queryText = "select * from myTable where col1 = " + jsvar/reportparam1 + " and col2 = "
jsvar/reportparam2 " and col3 < " jsvar/reportparam1

Colin,
That is correct. Reference report parameters like
params["myreportname"].value
