Hi Drew,

Now that I played with the issue ... sure it ever worked with static
strings?
What I know is that it worked (and it fact still does work) with numeric
constants, e.g. you can simply group by "1" to have a fictitious group.

I don't think interpreting static strings which are no column/parameter
names should be possible: This would silently change the meaning of your
report if the definition of the underlying table changes, i.e. a column
which was used for grouping is removed or renamed.

Ciao
