Custom Static Values with Optional prompt

[system]

Hi

I have created a filter in the universe for custom static values with optional prompt.

Syntax validated in universe.

But, When I use this filter in the report without selecting value. I have an error message saying “Database error: ORA-00936: missing expression"

My Logic :

DIM_CATEGORY IN @Prompt(‘Select Category :’,‘A’,{‘Medicaid’,‘Health Insurance’,‘SHOP Employee’,‘SHOP Employer’,‘CHIP’,‘N/A’},Multi,Free,Persistent,Optional)

I’m using BOXIR4.0.

Any suggation please…

Now that my LOV lets me use ALL for all values, how do I get the ALL in the list? Author: Dwayne Hoffpauir There are two approaches - overriding the LOV SQL, and creating a universe object. Overriding the LOV SQL Press the SQL button in the query panel of the LOV Add the phrase UNION SELECT ‘ALL’ FROM DUAL or similar dummy table for your particular database. For SQL Server (if you don’t care if the object parses or not) add SELECT xx From xx UNION SELECT ‘ALL’ (You don’t need a FRO…
