hi, I have implemented a data processing extension successfully and I have my
own query syntax (even implemented a custom query designer).
However, if I want to make use of the report parameter(s), it seems that I
have to append Parameters!{ParameterName} to my query.Value in order to get
the parameter value entered by the user.
Is this correct?
Thanks
jennyHello Jenny,
When you reference parameter value in report, ou could use
Parameters!{ParameterName}.value. However, as for parameter for data
processing extension of data source, it depends on how you implement this.
For data processing extension s for SQL server, you could use @.varaiable
for parameter in SQL query. You may want to try this with your data
procssing extension to test.

||||Thanks for your reply. Yes if I append the Parameters!{ParameterName}.value
to my query, it does work and I get the right value selected by users.
However, my main concern is that the query used in my data extension has its
own syntax and I'm thinking of not using the generic query designer but my
own custom query designer (contains some text boxes and combo boxes for
example to generate a query from the user inputs). That is, to accomodate
parameters in reports, the user will need to append
Parameters!{ParameterName}.value to the query command text as well. Do I
understand this correctly?
BTW, is there a limit on number of parameters used in a report? I don't
think so. Correct?
Thanks a lot!

Report rdl contains dataset section that describes data fields and query.
Dataset section may contain one or more datasets depending on the report
layout. Each dataset entry has query section with command text entry and
query parameters. This is also true for data processing extension query.
For example:
<Query>
<DataSourceName>AdventureWorks</DataSourceName>
<CommandText>SELECT C.FirstName + ' ' + C.LastName AS
Employee, DATEPART(Year, SOH.OrderDate) AS OrderYear,
DATEPART(Month, SOH.OrderDate) AS OrderMonthNum,
DATENAME(Month, SOH.OrderDate) AS OrderMonth, SUM(SOD.LineTotal) AS Sales
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader SOH INNER JOIN
Sales.SalesOrderDetail SOD ON SOH.SalesOrderID =SOD.SalesOrderID INNER JOIN
Sales.SalesPerson SP ON SOH.SalesPersonID = SP.SalesPersonID
INNER JOIN
HumanResources.Employee E ON SP.SalesPersonID = E.EmployeeID
INNER JOIN
Person.Contact C ON E.ContactID = C.ContactID
WHERE (DATEPART(Year, SOH.OrderDate) <= @.ReportYear - 1 OR
DATEPART(Year, SOH.OrderDate) = @.ReportYear AND DATEPART(Month,
SOH.OrderDate) <= @.ReportMonth) AND
(SOH.SalesPersonID = @.EmpID)
GROUP BY C.FirstName + ' ' + C.LastName, SOH.SalesPersonID,
DATEPART(Year, SOH.OrderDate),
DATEPART(Month, SOH.OrderDate), DATENAME(Month,
SOH.OrderDate)</CommandText>
<QueryParameters>
<QueryParameter Name="@.ReportYear">
<Value>=Parameters!ReportYear.Value</Value>
</QueryParameter>
<QueryParameter Name="@.ReportMonth">
<Value>=Parameters!ReportMonth.Value</Value>
</QueryParameter>
<QueryParameter Name="@.EmpID">
<Value>=Parameters!EmpID.Value</Value>
</QueryParameter>
</QueryParameters>
<Timeout>30</Timeout>
<rd:UseGenericDesigner>true</rd:UseGenericDesigner>
</Query>
No matter how you implement your data extension or cutom query designer,
the result rdl shall include the commandtext and parameters you want.
I did not find any limiatation in number of parameters in a report and I
think it is limited by server performance though.

||||When I checked the rdl file that is generated, I couldn't find what you said
below, but I found the followings instead (where <ReportParameters> is at the

Have I done anything wrong? It seems to work for me so far. I did get the
right selected parameter value when processing the report though.
Thanks again for your help.

Thank you for your reply. ReportParameters is necessary for all reports
involving parameter. However, In SQL or OLEDB extenstion, parameters used
by query are "@.variable" which is mapped to reportparmeter via
<QueryParameters>.
As you have noticed, you could use Parameters!paramtername.Value directly
in commandtext anyway. Autually this is the method to build up dynamical
query from report parameters when using SQL/OLEDB extensions.

||||Thank you for your help. I've noticed that when using the SQL extension, if
the query contains a @.variable, Report Designer automatically creates
corresponding report parameters in the report.
This does not happen in my data extension, and I believe this is because my
query parser does not do anything special when the query contains a @.variable.
Thank you
Jenny
