I have a report, which contains student details and the courses to
which the student is registered.
I have 2 datasets, one which retrieves the student data, and another
paramaterized report which retrieves all courses for this student.
What I need to do is set this parameter to be the student_id of the
current student.
e.g. I want the report to be displayed as:
Student Details
Student ID: S1000
Name: AN Other Address: 1 22nd Street
Courses:
Math
Chemistry
Physics
Spanish
I can select the correct dataset and field in the textbox for course
name, but the report keeps asking me to enter a student id. I want it
to use the student id of the current student.
Does anyone know how I go about this?
Appreciate any help.Donâ't you use a student id parameter to filter the student? This one should
be used to filter courses.
If youâ're not filtering the students, you may have more than one student. In
this case you can use a single dataset that joins student and courses, and
group by students.

>|||IF USING A SUBREPORT
Your Student data is in your main report, and your Course data (including
StudentID) is in your subreport. Your subreport is placed inside the list
(or table or whatever) that iterates on the student data.
In the main report, right-click on the subreport and select Properties.
Then go to the Parameters tab and map the subreport parameters to the
appropriate fields.
IF NOT USING A SUBREPORT
You might be able to do this without a subreport. Just join the course
table to the student table in your dataset. Put everything inside a table
(or nested lists if it's a freeform report). You can put rectangles and
lists inside table cells, which is cool. Map everything to the same dataset.
Then set outer grouping levels at the student level, and inner grouping or
details at the course level.

parameter to be the student id. The dataset that retrieves the student
data is simply 'select * from students' so this should bring back all
the students and the sub report should bring back all the courses for
these students.
But still it asks me to enter a student id!

have specified one earlier that needs to be deleted. The data source for
your subreport should be something like "select * from courses where
student_id = @.student_id". Then you can link the parameters in the parent
and child reports.
On the other hand, you could do the whole thing in a single report, with a
data source like "select * from students inner join courses on
students.student_id = courses.student_id". Then you put the fields in a
table with student info in the header rows, and group info in the detail
rows.
