In SDT I can only specify the calculated field expression. For example, DATE_FLD1 - DATE_FLD2, or IIF(something,choice1,choice2), etc. And I can't enter "select" in this expression. Because this expression will be used in the auto report generator with a SELECT statement. And as I found out, somehow the SELECT used by SFReports does not like the IIF() expression as even if I hard-code number 1 as a return choice from IIF(), the report shows a bunch of asterisks.
Thank you for your suggestions.
