Alias Names for Column names in the Prompt

Question

Hi,
I have a scenario where I am taking column names into prompt. I have used the following SQL in the SQL results under "Show" option of the Prompt.
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' END FROM "Real Time"
My problem here is I am getting the column names into the Prompt as "Orders"."By OrderDate" and "Orders"."By ShipDate", which is not acceptable and readable format for the user. I tried using the alias name in the SQL query this way.
SELECT (CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' END) AS "By OrderDate" FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT (CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' END) AS "By ShipDate" FROM "Real Time"
but it is throwing an error.Is there any way that I can assign an alias name for the column names such as OrderDate and ShipDate in the above SQL.
Your quick respose is appreciated.
Thanks,
Rama

Change ur
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By OrderDate"' END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE '"Orders"."By ShipDate"' END FROM "Real Time"
To
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE By OrderDate END FROM " Real Time"
UNION ALL
SELECT CASE WHEN 1=0 THEN AGE.AGE ELSE By ShipDate END FROM "Real Time"
So that it displays the Name as required
Then in the Fx for that column in the Report Use '"Orders"."@Presentation variable"'.
This worked for me Let me know if it worked for you.
