Answer / balanandam
Abhay ur concept is write, but there is other way to implement this ....
using static choice property in the properties pan u can put the values like Group1, Group2....
and modify the default sql as
if query.country in (?parameter?='Group1')then (Country in ('','','')) else
else if.....then...
else if....then...
else query.country='parameter';
i think this will clear more
save report and run.

create country prompt with 2 dynamic prompt value dispay
value WESTERN_COUNTRIES>use vale (1)ASIAN_COUNTRIES (2)
u can add more static values if u want.

write a if statement or case
if (?country?)=1
then country in (USA,UK)
else country in (INDIA, CHINA)
case when ?country? =1
then query.country in (us,uk)
when ?country?=2
then query.country in(INDIA,srilanka)
