Troubleshooting
Problem
An error occurs when there is a conditional variable based on a query item that is not displayed within the current container on the report layout. This is due to new functionality in IBM Cognos that optimises the query to eliminate unused data items from the resulting query SQL or MDX. To include a query item on the layout without displaying the object requires that the query item be added to the properties of the container in the layout.
Symptom
CRX-API-0005 An error on or around the position '0'. The variable named '[QueryX].[XXXX]' is invalid.
