Hi:
I am creating a report and need to pass a value through global variable
so i declared a global variable and in the source i have a query as follows...and destination is an excel sheet.

problem is that the query is able to work when i just say --> program_code = ? when i add couple more statements containing substring() it doesnt work.... basically its unable to parse this SUBSTRING(?,6,3)

Select * from
employees
where program_code = ?
and (work = SUBSTRING(?,6,3)
OR nationality = SUBSTRING(?,6,3)
)

does anyone know if i am committing a mistake somewhere?
is there anyother way of achieving this?

thanks,
Ravi

Nothing much that i can do..!!
