Lexical params - not parsed correctly

Question

Hi All, Does BIP support lexical param for a Oracle DB?
I have a query that looks like,
select &rp_item_flex_all_seg item_code,
ood.organization_name
from &lp_item_from,
org_organization_definitions ood
of these &rp_item_flex_all_seg is created a global level function and is populated from a PL/SQL function return and &lp_item_from is a parameter that is populated from a before report param trigger.
I am never able to get this query to compile and move ahead to next step.
The next screen on providing this query appears as
*&rp_item_flex_all_seg item_code, ood.organization_name from &lp_item_from, org_organization_definitions ood
and it always ends up in the error:
ORA-00923: FROM keyword not found where expected
Can someone help with this?

Hi DB042189,
This behavior is by design. According to the “Set the Options on the Parameter Bindings Page” section of the
Execute Package Task Editor document, we can read that:
You can pass values from the parent package or the project, to the child package. The project must use the project deployment model and the child package must be contained in the same project that contains the parent package.
So, to pass SSIS parameters from the parent package to child package, we have to use the Project Deployment model. Alternatively, you can use SSIS variable instead of parameter if it is not possible for you use the Project Deployment model.
If you have concerns, I would suggest you submitting a wish at
