So my question is, is there a way to have a global parameter or value for cognos to pass from one page to another page in the same report (where neither page is the prompt page)
Here is my problem:
I want to clean my report up and make both my report and drill-through report as one report. Using some conditional styles and other things, I wanted to be able to prompt the user at the start of the report to select several parameters and load page1 (this works correctly). Once on the first page of the report, I wanted the ability to direct the user to a second page when they clicked on a value to drill-down too. The problem is when a value is selected to use as the drill-down parameter it is only known on the page it is selected on. EX. on page1, when selecting a color, the parameter knows I have clicked on "red" to show me all the information about red chairs, but page2 still thinks the parameter color = NULL. So my second page never receives any information and is left blank. Is there a special parameter or coding I have to add into my report to make my values become global? or is this a function that isn't currently supported in cognos from inside a report?
