Argument Description
sReportID ID of the report. Can be ID of the main report or the ID of a sub-report. This argument can be passed as an empty string, which can be represented as C_USEMAINDRREPORTID.
iParameter The number of the parameter whose type should be retrieved.

Description

Returns the type of the N-th parameter. Parameters can be user-defined or retrieved from a stored procedure or SQL statement data source.

The parameter numbering starts at 0. An empty string will be returned if the parameter number is outside the available range (0 - number of parameters, which can be retrieved via ParameterCount).

This method cannot be used before the report OCX object is initialized. The COM object creation occurs as part of the OpenReport method if it has not been done beforehand.
