Trouble using an Oracle connection to get Data
Does anybody know how to pass a parameter created within report builder to the oracle SQL statement?
I have tried using the @var for SQL Server and %var for Oracle SQL Statements both are failing.
I need to use the variable to filter the dataset by a date field.
Is this even possible?

If you are using the Oracle SQL statement within the report builder, then it may due to the type conversion. Are you using a TO_DATE to convert your parameter value to a date value.
Assuming your parameter value is TransDate, you would use your query as below
SELECT * FROM MyTable WHERE MyDateField = TO_DATE(@TransDate,'DD-MM-YYYY')
Note : you may have to change the format to MM-DD-YYYY or any other, depending on the date reading format.
