Finally I crack this and i did not believe it was just a silly mistake. I just mentioned field name in "" in the dbquery which is "bookcode".So keep this in mind whatever you are mentioning in the fieldforvalue and fieldforlable should be similar to ur field name in dbquery that is it.
here is my code


<!-- Define a simple dropdown form driven by a search -->



<![CDATA[| dbquery "Finance Database" "select distinct book_type_code "bookcode" from fa_deprn_periods where period_name='JAN-09' and book_type_code='CORPORATE USA'" ]]>
