What is the Main Difference between Conditional Block and
Render Variable in Cognos. Both are used for Condtional
rendering.But what is the Main Diff?

Answer Posted / siva

Conditional block: Based on satisfied condition block will be executed..
Ex:If user selects year=2011 then list
user selects year=2012 then crosstab
user selects year=2013 then chart..
Like this we can show to the user ..

Render variable:We can render the page or column based on condition..
Ex : In one column there is no date ..so we have to hide that ..
so we need to take the count for column..if count is = 0 then hide..
