hi,
If you'r new to reports, create a simple tabular report in report builder. The query is

SELECT * FROM emp
WHERE deptno = :P_DEPTNO
AND sal > :P_sal
AND comm > :P_comm

This will create 3 user parameters.
When you run the report, form will appear asking to give the values for parameters.
give here 30, 0 , 0 respectively.
You can create the user parameters first and then create the query using those parameters.
Note:
You don't need to add these parameters in the Parameter Form.
Also if you'r using a date as a parameter then you need to open the property of the parameter and assign the datatype property to DATE.
For charachter, the datatype should be CHARACTER and
for number, the datatype should be NUMBER.

Hop ethis will help.

Regards.
