Dynamically retrieve the name of all the parameters for a report.

Does anyone know, if you are inside the body of a report, of a way to have a
textbox dynamically populated with the name of all the parameters that are on
that report?
So, the idea is, this textbox in the body of the report would have some
expression, and that expression would always return the names of all
parameters that are defined for the report. So, if someone changes the report
to use have a new parameter, this textbox would automatically show the name
of that new parameter.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Sorry, this is not supported at this point.

Dynamically Populated Columns

Hi everyone,
I have to create report that has dynamically populated columns. The data
example is below:
Zone Mar-06 Apr-06 May-06
---
Med 1841.096666 1955.371600 2359.752608
Sub 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Work 1353.824214 945.390865 1542.416949
West 1022.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Nat'l 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
And month columns are added dynamically. Like so:
Zone Mar-06 Apr-06 May-06
Jun-06 Jul-06 Aug-06
------
Med 1841.096666 1955.371600 2359.752608 1098.842727
1827.094062 1381.066666
Sub 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
Work 1353.824214 945.390865 1542.416949 1176.967816
1192.468396 621.960000
West 1022.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 1353.905000 0.000000
Nat'l 0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
0.000000 0.000000 0.000000
How can I design a report so that it grows with however many columns are
returned from the SP.
Thanks everybody for your input.Check out matrix control.

However I am not sure how to map the top columns to it. In the dataset that
I get back I do not have the reference to the Mar-06 Apr-06
May-06 columns.

wanted to take your data and get variable columns. RS cannot deal with
multiple columns. However, you could probably write your SP to not create
the variable columns and let RS do it with the matrix control.
