Nested reports in composite reports
If the base report is a composite report, you need to define retrieval arguments
for the composite report before you can supply them to the nested report.
In the Properties view for the composite report, select the General page. Then
define the retrieval arguments that the nested report needs, taking care to
specify the correct type.
❖ To supply a retrieval argument value from the base report to the nested
report:
1 Make sure that the nested report has been set up to take one or more
retrieval arguments.
See “Placing a nested report in another report” on page 351.
2 Select the nested report and then select the General page of the Properties
view.
The Arguments box lists arguments defined for the nested report and
provides a way for you to specify how information from the base report
will supply the value of the argument to the nested report.
3 Supply the base report column or the expression that will supply the
argument’s value. To do this, click the button in the Expression column.
