Bind variables in custom sql subquery

Question

Is it possible to use bind variables in a custom sql subquery? I have a top level query built with expressions and I am using the builder.subQuery() method to execute the report query containing the custom sql.
Thanks,
Will

Yes, that should be possible. Here is what to do. Make your SQL string. Where you want to bind variables, use a question mark.
example: select empId from employee where employeeId=?
Then you want to create a Call object. Then you can do ReportQuery rq = new ReadAllQuery (sqlCall);
here is how to bind:
queryParams is a Collection
//start code
Call sqlCall = new SQLCall();
((SQLCall)sqlCall).setSQLString(sqlString);
if ((queryParams != null) && (queryParams.size() > 0)) {
     Vector sqlParameterTypes = new Vector(queryParams.size());
     Vector sqlParameters = new Vector(queryParams.size());
     Iterator iter = queryParams.iterator();
     while (iter.hasNext()) {
          Object queryParameter = iter.next();
          sqlParameterTypes.add(SQLCall.IN);
          sqlParameters.add(queryParameter);
     ((SQLCall)sqlCall).setParameterTypes(sqlParameterTypes);
     ((SQLCall)sqlCall).setParameters(sqlParameters);
//end code
I hope this helps. The APIe changed from 9.0.4.5 to 10.1.3 so this code is for 10.1.3. Post if you have any more questions.
