I am very confused and frustrated with this..I'm trying to have a report that has 2 prompts and the values of these should change the SQL for my dataset. However, for some reason when I add the second parameter to my script it messes everything up. Can someone please take a look at this?
I have attached 2 different attempts at this report..the script in question is the Result Query beforeOpen script. Can someone please help, I have no idea what is going wrong.

After looking at this longer, I found one problem I think..
When I do this..for some reason it isn't entering the if here..I have no idea why it wouldn't because when I run I only select one value for this parameter..I even have it so multiple values aren't even supported yet. So why would this be happening?

// Parameter 2
var paramName = "ImpactSeverity"; //report parameter
paramLength = reportContext.getParameterValue(paramName).length;
// One impact assessment type was chosen
if (paramLength == 1)
{
// Replace the default phase type with the single user selection.
param = reportContext.getParameterValue(paramName);
this.queryText = this.queryText.replace( "High", param);
//this.queryText = this.queryText.replace( "AND info.CONFIDENTIALITY_IMPACT = ('High')", replaceString);
}

Is there some way I can test to see what paramLength is within Birt Report Designer? I'm very frustrated that this isn't working..it seems elementary that reportLength should be 1...

I have found the problem...but can someone please help me fix it?
When I do this..
paramLength is returning as..
function length() {/*
int length()
*/}
What is this and how do I fix it? Someone please help.

Ok I solved the above...you cannot check the .length of the parameter like that unless you check the box for allow multiple values. But my script still isn't doing what I want it to.
