Define a FSG-Booking-Work subreport that uses Do Not JOIN rows. The main FSG-Booking-Work-BookEvent Report Definition declares a ParentKey parameter which is passed to the subreport. The subreport filters on pxCoveredInsKey = param.ParentKey. Main report filters on pzInsKey = SUBRPT.pxCoveredInsKey which generates an IN clause. The main report OR's that filter with pzInsKey = param.ParentKey
Define a SQL Function named isInCaseHierarchy() that takes two parameters, one being the passed-in pyID of the parent case, the other being the Reference property within the FSG-Data-Pricing record Pricing record
Define a FSG-Booking-Work-BookEvent Report Definition that defines a JOIN to FSG-Booking-Work-BookEvent aliased as "CHILD". The JOIN compares pyOrigOrg values.
