pass parameter from one report/chart to another report

[krysna]

Has anyone passed a parameter from one report to another - using a hyperlink off of a chart? It looks like it is possible, but BOBJ did not provide an example with their user guide. If so could you please post example syntax?

I would like to pass the fund number from report A and open report B with that fund number.

I set up a paramter in Report B for the fund number, but am stumbling on how to pass it from an object in Report A.

It looks like it can be done via the verbage from the user guide below?:


Select this option to create a hyperlink to a file on a specific
computer or networked computer. Use the formula button to create a
file path based on a field value.
You can also use a hyperlink of this type to run an EXE with a
command-line parameter. Enter the path and application name, and
follow it by the parameter for the command.

Thanks!

I have determined that it is not possible to pass a parameter to a file, as Crystal Reports does not know what kind of file I am linking to, and files, as a general rule, don't take parameters. I have instead opted to use an internet location and serve up my next report using the ReportRenderer.

You can use an On-Demand Subreport for this. There are other options as well.
