Query as a Web Service and In List

Question

Hi,
Here is my scenario (Xcelsius 2008 Enterprise SP2):
- List builder object which returns multiple values
I want to use those values to filter a Query as a Web Service data connection (to BW based universe). How is that possible?
My web service contains a Filter defined as <Dimension> In List <Prompt>
I have tried the following:
1) Selected multiple rows in the Input Values/Read From section of the connection
2) Tried to concatenate the individual values using ; and , and then passing the concatenated values to the Read From section of the connection (as one cell)
1) works fine as long as I just select one value, but when I select multiple values, only the first one is used to filter the QaaWS
2) Does not work
Any ideas/suggestion on how to solve this?
Thanks in advance,
Jacob

Hello David,
I tried this feature of BI Services through WebI Rich Client. But I am having problem with sending values for Prompts using Xceslius. Below is the procedure I followed in developing a report and using BI web service to connect to Xcelsius.
1) Build a report in Web Intelligence rich client along with Query filters (Inlist, Optional Prompts).
2) Activate BI Service and publish the block after exporting the file.
3) Use the WSDL URL to connect to Xcelsius from Data Connection (Add as Query As Web Service and Import it).
4) Method: Get_ReportBlock_<Block name>,
    set input values <Enter_value_s_for_prompt>
        i) Valueofprompt (bind to single values, hard coded)
       ii) Index (leave blank, not binded)
5) set <refresh> as 1 (or true) and <getfromlatestdocumentinstance> as 0 (false)
6) Bind the output values to excel and pull a scorecard component to view the data.
7) Preview the dashboard and now I get this error
                Cannot Access external Data: String index out of range: -1
When I remove both the values inserted in step 5, I get complete data (prompt is not applied). I also have a doubt whether I can pass multiple values for the prompt without using + sign to duplicate the Prompt.
From some of the previous posts I came to know about Value formatting compatibility issue between BI Services and Xcelsius. Which is addressed with two fix packs
1) XI 3.1 SP2.5 (available since last March) for WebIntelligence Rich Client & BI Services, and
2) Xcelsius 2008 SP3.1 (available since last April).
Are these the up to date Fix packs available and will they solve my problem?
Where can I download them from (SAP Market place)? or from our SAP service consultant?
