Error description
Since IBM Cognos 10 BI 10.2 a token from a prompt macro gives the value in inverted comma instead of brackets back. The following sample illustrate the issue:??Expression - behavior in IBM Cognos 10 BI 10.1.1?#prompt('Pt_Zeilen';'token')#?result: The token gives the value of the parameter 'Pt_Zeilen' in brackets [] back.??Expression - behavior in IBM Cognos 10 BI 10.2?#prompt('Pt_Zeilen';'token')# ?result: The token gives the value of the parameter 'Pt_Zeilen' in inverted comma '' back.??That means all reports with this constellation have to be redesigned after an migration from IBM Cognos 10 BI 10.1.1 into IBM Cognos 10 BI 10.2
Local fix
workaround: 1. change prompt makro into #sb(prompt(..))# 2. change Static values from [xyz] into xyz 3. copy xyz data item and rename it into 'xyz'
