Acces to Data Set Parameters in Report Body [message #88012] Mon, 07 November 2005 03:29 Go to next message

Originally posted by: pcasey.earthlink.net

I have a report (purchases by date) that gets run from the web. The report
has a data set that takes two parameters startDate and endDate and then does
a query bounded by those markers. It works fine.

I want, however, to use those two parameters within the report e.g. print a
title that says:

'All Purchases between ' + startDate + ' and ' + endDate

The only problem is that startDate and endDate appear null during report
render :(. Is there a different javascript expression I should be using to
get at them? Is there a global DataSet.parameters.startDate or some such I
could use?

Alternately, how would you suggest working this out?

Hi Patrick,
If I understand you correctly, I think you want to do this:

'All Purchases between ' + params["startDate"] + ' and ' + params["endDate"]

I think that would work if I was using a report parameter, but I'm
trying to access a dataSet parameter. When I use the syntax you describe, I
get:

There are errors on the report page:
- There are error(s) in Data:null
Error0 : data.engine.JSScriptInvalid(2times)detail: Invalid Javascript
expression. Source: , line: 0, Expression:Script engine error: startDate not
found I tried using report parameters, but I could not, for the life of
me, get the data binder to bind a datatime report parameter (with default
value) to a datetime dataset parameter. So right nowI'm using only dataset
parameters. --- Pat"chris" <none@none.none> wrote in message
