Dear All, I m new to IReport, and i need to restrict my records to my specific criteria (like we use in WHERE clause in SQL) .. I am not using query for retrieving records, but by some other means.. In my report, i only want to show students of Grade V (for e.g.) but i dont know the proper syntax for retrieving specific records. This may also be done by using Filter Expressions but i dont know how to use it. I tried this in Filter Expression in my Report Query window. $P{GRADE}, where $P{GRADE} is the parameter i fixed as "Grade-V", but it doesnt work... All the expressions in I Report depends on the syntax <condition> ? true : false, but i need only true values like this <condition> ? true.... Can any one help me out.. Thanks, Ovais
