Hi friends,

Im in obiee 11.1.1.7.150120. And in the prompt based upon the sql results im issuing the below query

SELECT "Fact1-payroll"."Employee Number" FROM "8 - HR-Payroll"
where "Fact1-payroll"."Period" = '@{v_from_period}{OCT-15}'
MINUS
SELECT "Fact1-payroll"."Employee Number" FROM "8 - HR-Payroll"
where "Fact1-payroll"."To Period" = '@{v_to_period}{NOV-15}'

But the prompt values are not showing up. Suppose in place of MINUS if i use UNION/UNION ALL/INTERSECT then the prompt values are appearing, but im not sure about the minus operation like why it is not working.

Kindly help with a fix for this problem.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Saro

    A good way to test out your query for SQL Results in a prompt is to make a New Analysis from Simple Logical SQL. The prompt dialogues don't give you any error messages – they just return no results, but the Analysis page will show you the error that's returned from the BI Server.

    Hi Jack,

    Thanks for the reply.But i dont think there is an issue with the query like i said earlier that the query works fine with UNION/UNION ALL/INTERSECT. I do have problem only with the MINUS as it is not working in the sql prompt results.

    Any other possible fix for this problem.
