Parameters specification

When you specify parameters, use only those supplied with HCL VersionVault Reports (see the following table). Each parameter has an associated chooser control, parameter text, and a help ID.

When you use one of the parameters that is listed in this table, naming it is all that is required. For example, this is the parameters specification for the Elements Changed Between Two Labels report:

parameters : LOOKIN LABEL LABEL

The order of parameters is important. They are displayed in the parameter pane in the order of the specification. (Each parameter appears as a link. When users click the link, they are prompted to enter a parameter value.) At run time, the Report Viewer calls the report procedure, which must handle the parameter values in the same order as defined in the specification.

The parameters in this table that are associated with the Type Chooser must also include the LOOKIN parameter in the interface specification. The LOOKIN parameter must have a value before any values for other parameters that use the Type Chooser can be specified. The paths that are the values for the LOOKIN parameter are used to build the set of VOBs that types can be read from. At run time, if a user attempts to set a type parameter in reverse order, the Report Builder displays this error message:

Before this parameter can be set, you must first set a value for the 
"Select pathnames in view to report on" parameter.
