What is the Main Difference between Conditional Block and Render Variable in Cognos. Both are used..

Answer / 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..

Answer / charlie

In conditional block the object you put in the block(list, crosstab etc) can be made invisible or not depending on the variable. While in case of render variable only the column that you want to cut off from ur report will be rendered by the variable condition.
