How are normal parameters different from dynamic parameters in value storage?

• A. Normal parameters save the value on the report's HRX record; dynamic parameters also save their value on the HRX record.
• B. Normal parameters store their value on the report's HRX record; dynamic parameters get their value at run time from a dynamic extension.
• C. Normal parameters obtain their value from dynamic extensions; dynamic parameters obtain their value from user security.
• D. Normal parameters are not stored anywhere.

Answer: (B)

Normal parameters are fixed inputs whose values are saved with the report instance. In this setup, their values are stored on the report’s HRX record, so the run is reproducible and the value travels with the report data. Dynamic parameters, by contrast, aren’t stored ahead of time. At run time, a dynamic extension provides their value, so the parameter is resolved on the fly rather than being persisted in the HRX record. This distinction matters because it contrasts a stable, stored value with a value computed during execution from an extension. The other statements mix up where or how the values come from: dynamic parameters aren’t saved to the HRX record, and normal parameters aren’t sourced from extensions or left unstored.
