The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Cognos/Misys Impromptu modify a query from macro

Asked by BJ2005 in Impromptu, Database, SQL Reporting, Databases Miscellaneous

Tags: Cognos, Misys, Impromptu, macro

I have a large number of reports I am trying to automate in Impromptu. One thing I need to be able to do is substitute parameters, which I can do no problem EXCEPT if it is an IN filter like this:
IN (1,2,3,4,5)
It appears to not be legal to do this:
IN (?Parms?)
There is a workaround that Cognos provides, but you have to know the number of items in your list ahead of time - I have a variable number of items. I was hoping that there would be a way to use GetFilterFor (or something similar) and somehow programatically change the filter and set it back.

Thanks!
Brian

             This is what I tried that doesn't work - see 01,02,03 as a parameter below.
Sub Main()
   Dim objImpApp As object
   Dim objImpRep As Object
   Set objImpApp = CreateObject("CognosImpromptu.Application")
   objImpApp.Visible 1
   objImpApp.OpenCatalog _
      "C:\data\Misys\Query Workspace\Catalog\MQuery02.cat","XXX","xxx","XXX","xxx",1
   Set objImpRep =  _
      objImpApp.OpenReport("H:\misys\autoreports2008\AutoReport.imr","12-20-2008|12-24-2008|01,02,03")
End Sub
