You could include the parameter in the view ( in this case)

select Table.*, ;
         cast ( ?lnYear as Int ) as MyParam;
        from ....
       where (YEAR( DATEFIELD ) >= ?lnYear )

What I do is to create another cursor (HeaderCursor) and add one record with the fields I need

I have many fields in there ( YearStart, YearEnd, .... even images )

Then in the report when I want print that data, Field expression = HeaderCursor.NameOfField
