title: iReport: Passing parameters from a main report query to a dataset query for a table or list
body: <p>I understand how to pass parameters from a main report to a subreport, since there's a specific field for this in the subreport object. However, I'd like to do the same thing with a table or list object as a consumer (rather than a subreport). Is it possible?</p>
  
  <p>For example, say I have a parameter of 'customerID' that I can populate with a main report query, but I can't seem to pass this parameter to the table's dataset's SQL query.</p>
  
  <p>I've tried, and continue to try, various combinations of parameters, fields, and variables, but to no avail.</p>
  
  <p>Does this sort of thing require a subreport implementation?</p>
  
  <p>(If it matters and isn't obvious, I'm using JDBC)</p>
