Answer / balanandam

Abhay ur concept is write, but there is other way to implement this ....

using static choice property in the properties pan u can put the values like Group1, Group2....
and modify the default sql as

if query.country in (?parameter?='Group1')then (Country in ('','','')) else
else if.....then...
else if....then...
else query.country='parameter';

i think this will clear more
save report and run.

Answer / dhanu

create country prompt with 2 dynamic prompt value dispay
value WESTERN_COUNTRIES>use vale (1)ASIAN_COUNTRIES (2)

u can add more static values if u want.

in report query put filter

write a if statement or case
if (?country?)=1
then country in (USA,UK)
else country in (INDIA, CHINA)


case when ?country? =1
then query.country in (us,uk)
when ?country?=2
then query.country in(INDIA,srilanka)
end
