input parameters

[Ambrosio Lorraine RDOG <Lorraine.Ambrosio@COMINCO.COM>]

Hello everyone,
I'm very new at SQR, no programming experience, only SQL.
Took the Brio SQR fundamental/advanced courses about 1 month ago , I'm
trying to get started with this one.

Note: there may be other problems with this script but my question is  with
the input parameters.

If the parameter 'eccname' is blank then select all records between
startdate and enddate otherwise
select eccname like '$eccname' within startdate and enddate.


Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lorraine
