Thanks for the reply

This is the query which I'm using:

DECLARE @return_value int

EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[Stored Procedure] @startdate = &start_date , @enddate = &end_date

SELECT 'Return Value' = @return_value

It throws error saying Incorrect syntax near &"

I need to take the dates as input from the user when opening the report
