Item Values Not Set - Dynamic SQL Fails to Parse.

Question

** Think I've fixed this **
(By simply defining some page computations I was able to set the item values to some default. Please don't feel the need to reply :-))
I have a page consisting of 5 report parameters and a report, all in one region, 4 parameters are LOVs and one is a text field which in the query are all compared to table column values. The report region type is SQL Query(PL/SQL function body returning SQL Query).
If I load the page in a new session with default values for the LOVs as '%' and a null text field, I get the following error message:-
failed to parse SQL query:
ORA-00936: missing expression
If I examine the session state, I see that none of the parameter values are set, which is probably why the dynamic sql is failing.
If I set one of the parameters to something, eg. choose another value in an LOV or type some text in the text field, and re-run the report, it executes without error.
What's the easiest way to fix this, is it to set the page items to some specific values when the page is first loaded? If so how do I do that? I'm not having much luck creating some process to do it.
All help appreciated.

Hi Ian,
Did you already try to put a default value for that lov?
Or try to do a computation before header?
Thanks,
Dimitri
