Would like to use @variable('BOUSER')

Question

Hi All,
I am working with
-->   Business Objects XI R2 (View Crystal Report using InfoView)
-->   Business Views XI R2  ( access the data using Oracle 10g ) building LOV location table with the
       proper access to the location(s) they have  to.
-->   Crystal Reports XI R2 (Database connection is the Business View)
I need to pass the BO User ID of the person running the report to the Oracle db.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
====================================================
I am working with 2 tables
-->   LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_ALL_LOCATIONS
-->   LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_FOLDER_LOCATION
If they exist in the LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_ALL_LOCATIONS table then give them access to all locations also I want to display ...ALL value at the top of the LOV.
If they exist in the LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_FOLDER_LOCATION table then give them access to all only the locations they have access to I DO NOT want to display the  ...ALL value at the top of the LOV.
Proposed Oracler View
Select @variable('BOUSER'), 99999 as Folder, '...ALL' as Location, 'All Locatiions' as Description
From dual
where (select Q.User_ID from LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_ALL_LOCATIONS
          where Q.User_ID = @variable('BOUSER')) Is not null
UNION
Select C.User_ID, 99999 as Folder, B.Location, B.LocationName
From medgate_v60_app.MT_TBLLOCATION  B left join
     LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_ALL_LOCATIONS C on C.User_ID Is not null and
     C.User_ID = @variable('BOUSER')
UNION
Select D.User_ID, D.Folder_ID, D.Location, E.LocationName
from LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_FOLDER_LOCATION D Left Join
       medgate_v60_app.MT_TBLLOCATION E on D.Location = E.location
WHERE 
  D.Folder_ID in (SELECT O.REAL_FOLDER_ID FROM LOCATION_SECURITY.FOLDER_MAPPING O) 
  and @variable('BOUSER')

Do you need to use an SSO authentication?
  NO I am using an Oracle UserID for everyone with no prompt for password
Do you need to verify that you BOUSER matches a user stored in a table?
YES  the user either belongs in either the SECURITY_ALL_LOCATIONS table or the SECURITY_FOLDER_LOCATION table
Can you detail the workflow you want to do with BOUSER?
I know that in Business Views I can use CurrentUserName in a filter to select the person I want by using I would like to pass to the Oracle SQL View the user running the BO USER running the report.:
Here is what the original Oracle View looks like.
Select A.User_ID, 99999 as Folder, '...ALL' as Location, 'All Locatiions' as Description
From   LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_ALL_LOCATIONS A
UNION
Select C.User_ID, 99999 as Folder, B.Location, B.LocationName
From  medgate_v60_app.MT_TBLLOCATION  B left join
         LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_ALL_LOCATIONS C on C.User_ID Is not null
UNION
Select D.User_ID, D.Folder_ID, D.Location, E.LocationName
From LOCATION_SECURITY.SECURITY_FOLDER_LOCATION D
          Left Join medgate_v60_app.MT_TBLLOCATION E on D.Location = E.location
Where D.Folder_ID in ( SELECT O.REAL_FOLDER_ID FROM LOCATION_SECURITY.FOLDER_MAPPING O )
