hi,
I have a query like this
select sum(A), id_a from t1
where id_a in ('10','11','12','13')
group by id_a;
And i would like to create a parameter, one parameter that can include this in clauses above. this "In" is variable, it's may be ('10','11') or ('10','11','12','13','14','15').
As i need that the user will type the condition in bracket or another solution. but is it possible to create a one user parameter for using this condition above.

You need to use a lexical parameter

Read about the lexical parameters in this.

Google what are lexical parameters!

Or just type Lexical references in your report builder help topics it will give so many no of examples ...

Good luck

I have already used this lexical reference but wiht a sql statement but not with report builder.
but i never used a lexical with a where clause. I've tried but don't work.
Can you help me how manipualte my statement above with lexical parameter.

I have done like this
"select sum(A), id_a from t1
&where_clause ---(instead of where id_a in ('10','11','12','13'))
group by id_a";

What you've posted looks ok. What happened when you tried it? Did you get an error message?

What exactly have you put in the report builder query (use code tags - see the orafaq forum guide if you're not sure how)?
What exactly have you put in the lexical parameter?

OK then, here it is, a sample report based on Scott's schema.

Using a wizard, I've created a report whose query looks like this:
select deptno, ename, job, sal
from emp
&lex_deptno
Wizard has automatically created a lexical parameter called "lex_deptno".

Then I've manually created user parameter which will be used to enter "condition in bracket" (as you've put it) called "par_in_list", type is Character, length 200.

After Parameter Form trigger looks like this:
function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
  if :par_in_list is not null then
     :lex_deptno := 'where deptno in ' || :par_in_list;
  end if;
  return (TRUE);
end;

Now run the report: enter parameter values:

/forum/fa/7101/0/

The result is

/forum/fa/7102/0/

That should be all, I guess.
