[Info-ingres] passing parameters into report on linux

[Allan Biggs]

Can anyone tell me how to pass parameters into report writer  on Linux??

I have tried a number of positions in the command for  (param1=2269)  but 
keep getting unexpected token '('

both versions of the command work on windows and from memory this was the 
way to do this on VMS (sadly we are no longer on VMS :-(    )

thanks in advance , I will post this on the community forum as well

prompt> report -xxxxxxxxxxxxx
E_RW1000 Bad flag '-xxxxxxxxxxxxx' specified in REPORT command.
    Correct usage of REPORT command is:
             REPORT dbname [[-m..] table | [-r] report | -i..] [-d]
               [-f..] [-qn] [-ln] [-wn] [-vn]
               [-t|+t] [-b|+b] [-5] [-6]
               [-nofirstff|-firstff]
               [-h] [-s] [-uuser] [-oprinter] [-nn] [({param=val})]
               [-P] [-GgroupID] [-numeric_overflow=ignore|warn|fail]
     Processing stops.
