Setting conditions on values in Prompt

I am running Business Objects 5.1.9. I hope I ask this question correctly. Is it is possible to set conditions on the Values prompt, similar to the where conditions in the SQL, of the resulting report? The objective would be so that user wouldn’t get “no data to fetch” errors, based upon running a particular report.

Is it possible to use an @prompt instead of an @variable in your select statement?
With @prompt you can give values to choose from by the user.

If I understand correctly, you want to apply where condition to the values in the LOV?
Then go to the object properties which the prompt is based on, press Edit and apply required criteria in the condition pane. Press Ok, export universe. Thats it.
