Scenario:
I am trying to build a Report in Crystal XI from a Lawson report. Customer runs a Lawson Report, I pick up the data using a "xtra:... " Lawson Query that the user has provided. Once the report is successfully developed, the customer would like to run the same report against similar Lawson Reports which may use a different Department etc. To accomplish that I would like to create a parameter which allows the user to choose which values are used in the "xtra" command for the following parameters:

_USR, _JOB, _STEP, _PTH, _FN

Is it possible to create parameters for these values? I have tried to use parameters in the Lawson Query builder for _PTH and _FN values, but get the following error:

"Error retrieving report schema from IOS"

Please help.

Lawson Query Builder wont let you edit the command object it creates, so I would suggest using a Selection Statement to filter the records. Performance wont be as great as it would be if you could pass parameters directly to the command obect but it should accomplish what youre looking ot do.
