If the value is random you'll need to using processing. Either
directly attached the the report or using a -v table selection table.

While you're in report edit mode there's a option F8 for extended
options. Then P for processing. Try a simple prompt as follows

if:
then: input oa(8,*) "What are you looking for? "

if: oa eq 60
then: select

This is the slowest way of getting there but should get the job done.
