Parameter value in sql statement (Custom Folder)

Question

Hi ,
I want to formulate a custom folder - consisting of a sql statement , inside of which there is a parameter. Then in Desktop , the users can select a number as the searching criteria and this value will replace the parameter in sql statement , as in the following:
select CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE , SUM_POSOTITA from
select CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE , SUM_POSOTITA , row_number() over (order by sum_posotita desc) rw  from
  (SELECT CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, TO_DATE(DATES_EKTELESIS,'DD/MM/RRRR') DATES ,SUM(POSOTITA) SUM_POSOTITA
          FROM  EKTELESI_AT_SINT_CLINIC A, MITROO_FARMAKOU B
           WHERE CODE_FARMAKOU = FARMAK_CODE
           GROUP BY CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, DATES_EKTELESIS))
  where rw<=&p
  order by SUM_POSOTITA desc The problem is that the use of parameter , whereas in sql*plus is valid, in Discoverer is not....
What can i do in this situation...????
Thanks , a lot

Answer 1

However , a peculiar event happens....
whereas the sql statement is:
select CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE , SUM_POSOTITA,RW from
select CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE , SUM_POSOTITA , row_number() over (order by sum_posotita desc) rw  from
  (SELECT CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, TO_DATE(DATES_EKTELESIS,'DD/MM/RRRR') DATES ,SUM(POSOTITA) SUM_POSOTITA
          FROM  EKTELESI_AT_SINT_CLINIC A, MITROO_FARMAKOU B
           WHERE CODE_FARMAKOU = FARMAK_CODE
           GROUP BY CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, DATES_EKTELESIS
  UNION ALL
  SELECT CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, TO_DATE(DATES_EKTELESIS,'DD/MM/RRRR') DATES,SUM(POSOTITA) SUM_POSOTITA
          FROM  EKTELESI_AT_SINT_EX_IATR A, MITROO_FARMAKOU B
           WHERE CODE_FARMAKOU = FARMAK_CODE
           GROUP BY CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, DATES_EKTELESIS
  UNION ALL
  SELECT CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, TO_DATE(DATES_EKTELESIS,'DD/MM/RRRR') DATES,SUM(POSOTITA) SUM_POSOTITA
          FROM  EKTELESI_AT_SINT_FOREON_MS A, MITROO_FARMAKOU B
           WHERE CODE_FARMAKOU = FARMAK_CODE
           GROUP BY CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, DATES_EKTELESIS
  UNION ALL
  SELECT CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, TO_DATE(DATES_EKTELESIS,'DD/MM/RRRR') DATES,SUM(POSOTITA) SUM_POSOTITA
          FROM  EKTELESI_GEN_SINT_KLIN A, MITROO_FARMAKOU B
           WHERE CODE_FARMAKOU = FARMAK_CODE
           GROUP BY CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, DATES_EKTELESIS
  UNION ALL
  SELECT CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, TO_DATE(DATES_EKTELESIS,'DD/MM/RRRR') DATES,SUM(POSOTITA) SUM_POSOTITA
          FROM  EKTELESI_GEN_SINT_EX_IATR A, MITROO_FARMAKOU B
           WHERE CODE_FARMAKOU = FARMAK_CODE
           GROUP BY CODE_FARMAKOU,EMP_NAME,PACKTYPE,PACKSIZE, DATES_EKTELESIS))
  order by RW ascand produces the results....

12 rows selectedIn Discoverer , even i select to see -as parameter- let's say the 10 first records, the system displays the 7 first records , whereas when i want to see the 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 first records the system works fine....and displays accordingly 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 first records. The problem occurs above the 8th record-as parameter selected..!!!!!
I defined the parameter as :Rw<=:Rw
What may be the problem...????
SORRY!!!!! I FOUND THE PROBLEM ....!!!!
Regards and many thanks,
Simon
