Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Report Builder Deployment

> ## Parameter basics

> When you run a report with Report Engine, you can provide or override many of the report characteristics using report parameters. These parameters identify the report library that contains the report to be run and the report name, and optionally override some of the report characteristics stored in the report definition. There is also an output parameter that can be used with the table interface to provide report status information.

> There are two types of parameters:

> - Predefined

> - User-defined

> The following sections describe how to use both types of parameters. Because Report Engine has three different interfaces, take note of the interface-specific information. See Chapter 4, "Report Engine Table Interface," and Chapter 5, "Report Engine PRINTRB and PRNTRB2 Interfaces," for information about the different interfaces.
