Question

Hi Guys,
I am using DB2 database in SSRS. I have to pass Single Value and Multi Value Parameters. I tried with Select * From DB2Table Where
Column=@PRM_Name Or Select * From DB2Table Where
Column=:PRM_Name . It is not working and throwing error. Please help me out.

Hi SKM,
So you mean to say that Go to DataSource->Add Dataset-> Query Type-Text-> Under Query:
click on fx (Expression)-> Write this expression
For Single Value Parameter:
="SELECT customer_name, telephone_number, address1, address2, city from MyTable
WHERE city = '" + Parameters!City.Value + "'"
OR
="SELECT customer_name, telephone_number, address1, address2, city from MyTable
WHERE city =  '" & Parameters!City.Value & "'"
Keep it in mind if Parameter is String then
It should be in Single quote ''.
 Like
="SELECT customer_name, telephone_number, address1, address2, city from MyTable WHERE city
='Hyderabad' "
For Multivalu Parameter:
="SELECT EmployeeID, FirstName, LastName, LoginID FROM SHIVEN.AUDIT Where FirstName
in ('" + REPLACE(JOIN(Parameters!City.Value,","),",","','") + "')"
NOTE:
If your Parameter is Single Value Parameter and You want to enter string values with Coma (,)
separated (Like Hyderabad, Chennai, Delhi).
In this case, you have to use below expression.
="SELECT customer_name, telephone_number, address1, address2, city from MyTable
WHERE city IN ('" + REPLACE(Parameters!City.Value ,",","','") + "')"
OR
="SELECT customer_name, telephone_number, address1, address2, city from MyTable
WHERE city IN  ('" & REPLACE(Parameters!City.Value ,",","','") & "')"
In above expression: Replace will replace all , with ‘,’ and city IN (‘Hyderabad’, ‘Chennai’,
‘Delhi’) will not throw any error.
 Note: You have to write expression in one line in Expression editor for dataset
query
Thanks It is working fine but it is tough job if query is big.
Hi S kumar,
The above approach we use when we have source like DB2, becasue DB2 has some syntactical differences to pass multivalue paramaeter. I tested and it works good, if i am mentioning the query in above format by using Fx button while creating dataset.
but if we want fetch data from view which exist in DB2 and we need to call db2 view in SSRS and pass multivalue parameter in a way we did above then could you please mention the steps and way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance!
