Problem with Binding Report Parameters to DateSet Parameters [message #88575] Mon, 07 November 2005 22:39 Go to next message

I have a dataset parameter named startDateDS:
Type = Date Time
Direction = Input
Default Value = '11/01/05'

When I preview the query with this parameter, it works fine.

I have a report parameter named startDate:
Type = Date Time
Format = Unfomratted
Default Value = 11/01/2005

I have bound my report parameter to my dataset parameter:
Parameter=startDateDS
Data Type=Date Time
Value=params["startDate"]

When I try to preview the report though I get errors, specifically:

There are errors on the report page:
- There are error(s) in Table:null
Error0 : data.engine.ConvertDataTypeError(1 time)detail: Cannot convert the
parameter value [Wed Dec 31 16:00:00 PST 1969] to type [class
java.util.Date]DateDate Please help, I'm pulling my hair out over

I tested this scenario, and I was able to preview my report. How did you
bind the data set parameter to the report parameter? Did you bind it through
the table that displays the data?

Yep, I did it via the table.

I also found that if I define the Report Parameter as a String (not a
date/time) that it works, but if both the dataset and report parameters are
date/times, I get the error listed below.

The data type might have been a problem with an earlier version of BIRT. In
the 2.0 Milestone 2 version, both the data set and report parameter can be
datetime type.

I'm still on 1.0.1 on the theory that it's the more stable release. As I
work more with Birt though I'm starting ot think I might be better off with
the 2.0 milestones. Can anyone comment on that e.g. is 2.0 M2 more
stable/less buggy than 1.0.1?
