Looks like a typo

calling expression rule in the value of query parameter not working, only the hardcoded values are giving me exact result.

Expression:

rule!Test_urlWithParameters(
text: "select object_name from d2_dictionary_value where dictionary_name = '"&ri!dictionary_name&"' and any locale_value = ' "&ri!locale_value& " ' "
)

used this in the rule as you said:

mid(
urlwithparameters(
"/",
{"x"},
{ri!text}
),
5,
10000
)

Create a new expression, copy that code in it, create a rule input named "text" of type "Text".

Then use it like this

rule!your_new_expression(
  text: "select object_name from d2_dictionary_value where dictionary_name = '"&ri!dictionary_name&"' and any locale_value = ' "&ri!locale_value& " ' "
)

You need to URL-Encode that string as well.

Put this into a helper expression

mid(
  urlwithparameters(
    "/",
    {"x"},
    {ri!text}
  ),
  5,
  10000
)

and use it to encode/escape all the characters.

Going with query parameters should solve your problem.

The images are too small. I can not see anything.

I think the important part is, that you do not just put the whole URL into the URL field, but just the base URL

https://api.medstest.merck.com/d2rest/repositories/medstst

Then create a query parameter named "dql" and put the query in it. Appian will then do all the escaping for you.

DQL is just the query string in the URL you are calling. There is no need for any kind of support. But you might need to URL encode it. Can you post a screenshot of your integration?
