Is there any way to call a report name in the report? For example, if I create a report and save it as "Report A" can I call the name in the header of every prompt page without needing to create a text field and manually typing the name or cut and pastethe name?

thx,

Q.
 
report expression ReportName(). Works only when running from Cognos connection..

Great - Thanks! That was easy. Now how would I update the GlobalReportStyles.css to apply ReportName() to the page header. Or is that not possible?
 
No, this is not possible, modifying the CSS files you can change the way how the content looks like but not change the content itself.

But you can create a new blank report, add a text element with the report expression to the report header and save this report as template so you can use this everytime as starting point.
