Variables can be referenced in the T-SQL statement by using either simple substitution or extended substitution. When the report is run, the {xxx} variable is replaced with an ID or string in the query.
| Simple substitution |
Example of expanded variable |
|---|
| D.Filename LIKE {FileName} |
D.Filename LIKE 'document.doc' |
| X.DocumentID = {TheFileID} |
X.DocumentID = 48 |
| Extended substitution |
Example of expanded variable |
|---|
| {D.DocumentID, TheFileID, =, OR} |
(D.DocumentID = 48) OR (D.DocumentID = 49) OR
.
.
(D.DocumentID = 345)
|
| D.Filename, FileName, LIKE, OR} |
(D.DocumentID LIKE 'document.doc) OR (D.DocumentID LIKE 'drawing.slddrw') OR
.
.
(D.DocumentID LIKE 'picture.jpg')
