Interactive Report with union all in the query

Question

I have an interactive report with the following query in the report region:
select property,saddr1,upostdate,sotherdate1,journal_control-1000000000,account,sdesc,uref,
suserdefined1,trans_notes,samount,detail_notes
from journal_entries
union all
select property,saddr1,upostdate,sotherdate1,journal_control-700000000,account,sdesc,uref,
suserdefined1,trans_notes,stotalamount,detail_notes
from charge_entries;
This gets translated as listed below during runtime. I am trying to pass a value to both SELECT statements instead of the just the bottom select statement. Is this possible using interactive reports.
select
PROPERTY,
SADDR1,
UPOSTDATE,
SOTHERDATE1,
ACCOUNT,
SDESC,
UREF,
SUSERDEFINED1,
TRANS_NOTES,
SAMOUNT,
DETAIL_NOTES,
"JOURNAL_CONTROL-1000000000" "JOURNAL_CONTROL-1000000000"
from (
select property,saddr1,upostdate,sotherdate1,journal_control-1000000000,account,sdesc,uref,
suserdefined1,trans_notes,samount,detail_notes
from journal_entries
union all
select property,saddr1,upostdate,sotherdate1,journal_control-700000000,account,sdesc,uref,
suserdefined1,trans_notes,stotalamount,detail_notes
from charge_entries
) r
where ("PROPERTY" = :APXWS_EXPR_1)
0.14: IR binding: ":APXWS_EXPR_1"="APXWS_EXPR_1" value="prop1"
Thanks for any help,
Jim

The bottom query is actually the third query, it encompasses the two that are unioned. It is generated by APEX to allow for the search facility - to achieve what you want ignore the larger query, and get your query working in something like SQL developer. Once it's working then put it into APEX, and the search wrapper will be generated.
select property,saddr1,upostdate,sotherdate1,journal_control-1000000000,account,sdesc,uref,
suserdefined1,trans_notes,samount,detail_notes
from journal_entries
where property = :YOUR_CRITERIA
union all
select property,saddr1,upostdate,sotherdate1,journal_control-700000000,account,sdesc,uref,
suserdefined1,trans_notes,stotalamount,detail_notes
from charge_entries
where property = :YOUR_CRITERIA;
Then you need to think about how you are using the report, if it is linked to from another report, then create a hidden variable and pass it from the parent.
If the report is standalone , then you could create an item , that can be edited and when submitted, re-executes the report based on the criteria entered.
