You can use VALUEOF(expr) syntax to reference session variables in DV

Please refer to following Note which has more details

@Harish V-Oracle, I am aware of that, my question is related to Parameters. As of now we cant use Variables in Parameters. We may get his option in future and this idea was already suggested, you can upvote for that idea.

@Subhakara Netala-Oracle -

I thought Your query is about using Dynamic or session variables in DV Parameters and this is possible.

Assuming, I create a parameter in a DV workbook, I can populate the values of the parameter using "Logical SQL Query" option with a logical query as something like

select "Product Type" from "Sample Sales" where Region=valueof(NQ_SESSION.REGVAR)

where REGVAR is a session variable defined in the rpd.

Idea that you are referring to is about using DV parameters in data set definitions. If this is the requirement You were looking for then fine.
