Report - Page problem

Question

Hi All,
I am having 10 pages of report and one parameter like USER_ID, based on the
USER_ID i need to print/display the only selected pages instead of all pages.
Pls help me to resolve this.
For Eg: USER_ID:Manager - all 10 pages.
USER_ID:Clerk - first 2 pages
USER_ID:Sr.Cler - first 5 pages.
Thanks in advance.
Rgd,
Mahi

Wouldn't it be best to do that in the sql? In the data model you query would look something like:
select column1,
       column2,
       column3
  from my_table
where &p_wherewhere p_where is a user parameter that is dynamically set in an after parameter form trigger. Your after parameter form trigger would look something like:
function AfterPForm return boolean is
begin
  if :user_id = 'Manager'
   then :p_where := '1 = 1';  --does not do anything to the query
   else :p_where := 'user_id = '||:user_id;  --set the user_id in the query
  end if;
  return (TRUE);
end;
