Our organization is currently using Cognos as our reporting solution but thinking about going to Oracle Reports. Does Oracle Reports support Multiple Selection List Box.

i.e.
Ohio
Oklahoma
North Carolina
South Carolina

The user wants to select Ohio and Oklahoma as one of the user parameters.

I've tried to implement this and cannot. All the documentation I have read does not say anything about this feature.

Your help is appreciated.
 
Of those reporting tools I worked with, none supports this functionality. Usually, you will need to have some front-end tool to create parameter form like that, and then pass the parameters to the report. For Oracle Reports the front-end tool would be Oracle Forms, for Crystal Reports the tool would be Visual Basic (not nesessarily, but often). The functionality you are looking for is not that of the report writing software and I wouldn't recomment changing reporting tool based only on this feature.
