PM90589: REPORT BUILT IN IBM COGNOS BI 8.4 THAT USES VARIABLES TO CREATE A TUPLE FAILS IN 10.2 WITH OP-ERR-0182 INVALID PARAMETER

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Report built in IBM Cognos BI 8.4 that uses variables to create
  a tuple fails in 10.2 with OP-ERR-0182 Invalid parameter '[Comp
  To Use]' provided for 'tuple' at?position '1' for
  'dataItem="Derived Net Sales"'. This parameter is 'string' type
  but is expected to be one of the following: 'member'.  This is a
  burst report that fails but another report using the same logic
  which is not a burst report runs without error.  A workaround is
  being used to hard-code values instead of using variables.
