    Posted: 17 Feb 2016 at 6:46am
Hello All:
    I have a need to call a complex T-SQL script that live as a command in my .rpt file.   This command I need for it to be accessed by a formula field that I will create.   Then too, this formula field needs to pass a parameter (from an existing SQL table that is already in the report) to the command so it picks up the correct record.

Is this possible in Crystal?   If so, how do I pass the parameter to the command?    Thanks all.

The command will run before the formula is processed, so there's no way to do this unless you can put the command in a subreport and pass the parameter from the main report to the subreport.

For information about the right way to use Commands, see my blog post here: http://scn.sap.com/community/crystal-reports/blog/2015/04/01/best-practices-when-using-commands-with-crystal-reports
