Hi, I have a combo value which is search by id. if I mention as E.EMP_V_directorateid Like '%' || $P{directorate} of parameterized search by (i.e. 4) then its display all the related id records like 4,14,40,41,400 etc. which is wrong and If I mention parameter as E.EMP_V_directorateid = $P{directorate} then it will display only id=4 record. Is it possible, If i do not mention id then display all record and If I pass specific parameter id then display only specific id record in a single parameter. Can we take the advantage of 'like' and '=' in single way? Regards, Pradeep
