APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• With data push reporting and Crystal Reports, CQ queries are
  created
  and tied to the report to gather the data.  Those queries can be
  interactive requesting dynamic query data from the user.
  
  The data pull reporting using BIRT has similiar capability such
  that
  the user can be prompted for data.   However, when the prompt is
  for
  something like states or products where it is pulling the
  choices from
  a stateless record, it does not seem to be possible to select
  multiple
  values and pass it through to the data set definition.

  ClearQuest Web BIRT reports do not allow arrays of values to
  be passed as parameters for a dynamic query.
  

Problem conclusion

• A fix is available in ClearQuest 8.0.0.9 and 8.0.1.2.
  
  ClearQuest Reporting Driver was modified to support
  processing of parameters with multiple values. Special
  design considerations apply when constructing BIRT reports
  that require this capability.
