Hi,

I have 4 Parameters (From Invoice, To Invoice, Code, Port).
If the user input a data in "From invoice" and "To Invoice", the "Code" will be disable but if the "Code" has a data the "From Invoice" and "To Invoice" will be disable.
the "Port" is always enable..

How do I disable or enable? if ever, can someone else provide a sample file? I'm only a newbie in Report6i


Thanks..

As far as I can tell, no way in Reports.

However, two workarounds come to my mind at the moment: create your own "parameter form" using the Forms Builder and, depending on conditions you've mentioned, enable or disable desired form items.

Another way doesn't require Forms; create additional set of parameters - for every "real" parameter, which will appear on the parameter form, create its pair. In the AFTER-PARAMETER-FORM trigger, depending on values user has entered, calculate which "pair parameters" will be set to what values. In a report query, you'd then use these "pair" parameters instead of the ones user sees on the parameter form.

how do i modify my sql using this condition in the where clause?
if :p_awbcode is null, it will execute the :pinv_from and :p_inv_to.. if :pinv_from and :p_inv_to is null, it will execute :p_awbcode

WHERE    inv.comp_code = 'AATC' AND invd.comp_code = 'AATC'
         AND inv.port_code = :p_port
         AND (awb.code = :p_awbcode
         OR (SUBSTR (inv.invoice_no, 4) BETWEEN SUBSTR (:p_inv_from, 4)
                                            AND SUBSTR (:p_inv_to, 4)
         AND SUBSTR (inv.invoice_no, 1, 3) = SUBSTR (:p_inv_to, 1, 3)))


thanks.

Research use of LEXICAL parameters. These will let you create your own WHERE clause, depending on parameters' values.

thanks..
i already solve the script

AND awb.code = NVL (:p_awbcode, awb.code)
         AND SUBSTR (inv.invoice_no, 4) BETWEEN SUBSTR (NVL (:p_inv_from, inv.invoice_no), 4)
                                            AND SUBSTR (NVL (:p_inv_to, inv.invoice_no), 4)
         AND SUBSTR (inv.invoice_no, 1, 3) = SUBSTR (NVL (:p_inv_to, inv.invoice_no), 1, 3)
