Troubleshooting
Problem
In the report, no matter what is chosen in the parameter field, the conditional block always chooses the default "Other" option.
Symptom
Reports work correctly in Cognos 10.2.x but not in Cognos 11.0.x.
In the report specification "ParamDisplayValue" was referenced. This is correct, however in the static choices on the prompt page value prompt, there was no display value defined and so the reference to the "ParamDisplayValue" ... "='Block1'" wouldn't work as the display value of the choice "Block1" was blank.
