Answer / aram dodakian
Parameter maps are used to create conditional query
subjects that allow for substitutions when the report is
run. Parameter maps are objects that store key-value pairs.
Parameter maps are similar to data source look-up tables.
Each parameter map has two columns, one for the key and one
for the value that the key represents. You can manually
enter the keys and values, import them from a file, or base
them on existing query items in the model.
The value of a parameter can be another parameter. However,
you must enclose the entire value in number signs (#). The
limit when nesting parameters as values is five levels.
When you use a parameter map as an argument to a function,
you must use a percentage sign (%) instead of a dollar sign
($).
Constraint
Parameter maps are recommended for smaller lookup tables.
Steps to Manually Create a Parameter Map
Click the Parameter Maps folder and, from the Actions menu,
click Create, Parameter Map.
In the Name box, type a name for the new parameter map.
Click Manually enter the parameter keys, and/or import them
from a file and click Next.
Do one of the following:
To manually enter values, click New Key, type a key, and
press Tab to enter a value for that key.
To import keys and values, click Import File and identify
the location of the appropriate .csv file. You can import
from a .txt file only if the values are separated by tabs
rather than commas.

Hi All, I have 1.6 years of experience in cognos in India. I always wanted to do a MS program to earn some money in US. But I think I am little late in taking the decision. As If I have to write my GRE it will be August or September of 2012 and will have to apply for fall 2013 as fall 2012 admissions are almost done now. So my concern is how will be my career do if my MS is at this stage,. i,.e. 3 years experience in Cognos and 2 years MS program in and again looking for job in U.S. Have I been too late in taking the call? I heard that MIS (Managing Information Systems) is having very good placements now. So guys, please advice me in taking the decision to have a good career and also in terms of earning money as I have few financial problems to solve (which I am hoping to solve when I get job in US after completion of my MS program). Thanks a lot friends. I really appreciate and thank one and all for their valuable comments in this site.
