Default value for date parameters

Hi,
There are several reports that have from_date/to_date parameters where the default value is, e.g. 01/01/2012 and 31/12/2012.
Every year, after the previous year is closed, I go through the process of having to change the default values to the new year in all the reports. I have checked but not found an option of using a formula for a default value in a parameter. Could there have been something new recently that I missed?
Or does anyone have a suggestion of a way to get around it? I have tried in the past trying to extract the year from sysdate, but have not succeeded in getting a formula that the Discoverer accepts in the default value.
Thanks.
Leah

Thanks for the information. I doubt that my boss would go for it but I will speak to him when I am at work next week. We have some old reports which have a default value of null and that would most probably be confusing for many of the users. Is there a way to have the default the end of the year also?
Once again, thank you.
Leah

  • Default value for date

    Hi experts,
    I want to set default value for dates..
    My screen has : date_from & date_to.
    date_to : will be current date(today's date) if Eg: 27.08.2007 (here i used NOW())
    then date_from must be 01.06.2007 (3 months logic)
    similarly : if date_to is 01.01.2007
    then date_from must be 01.11.2006
    kindly help...
    Thanks a lot!!!
    Regards,
    Bijal

    Hi Bijal
    (DGET(NOW(),'D'))-1) returns number which is 0 incase of 01.08.2007, so DADD(NOW(),-0,'D') is again ideally same day 01.08.2007 .
    So, DADD(DADD(NOW(),-0,'D'),-2,'M') should give you 01.06.2007.
    <b> IT WORKS!!! -
    I have tested it now.</b>
    Please check and revert.
    The IF formula which sent actually returns String, so use DVAL(IF(DGET(NOW(),'D')!=1,DADD(DADD(NOW(),-((DGET(NOW(),'D'))-1),'D'),-2,'M'),DADD(NOW(),-2,'M')))

  • How to make default values for date range?

    Dear Colleagues,
    My customer is asking for a default value for a date range prompt.
    The FromDate should contain the 1st of current month, the ToDate should contain current date.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can meet this demand?
    Regards Silje

    Hi Federico,
    Thank you for the answer, we are back to the challenge after summer vacations!
    I have created a variable in the universe: SELECT current date  as TODAY FROM SYSIBM.SYSDUMMY1. I Called it TODAY.
    Then I created a prompt in the query based on Date. In Prompt Properties I tagged for "Set Default Values" and I typed in TODAY.
    When I try to run the query I get the error message:  The date for the query filter based on 'Date' is invalid (WIS10704).
    What is wrong? What do I have to do differently?
    My goal is to have a default for Date that gives me today..
    Regards Silje

  • Setting default values for Method Parameters (Like in C++)

    Hello. In Java can I define a method like...
    public boolean AddCommand(int commandType, ObjectClass object = null) {
        // Some code here.
        return true;
    }So that I can call it with
    ObjectClass object = new ObjectClass();
    result = AddCommand(2, object);or with
    result = AddCommand(2);I know I can do it with C/C++ which is the language I have experience with.

    I would think this would be a better example of default methods and constructors using this:
    public class MyClass{
        int myInt = 0;
        MyOtherClass m = null;
        MyClass(){  //no argument constructor
          this(defaultWhatever, defaultMyOtherClass);//call real constructor
        MyClass(int myInt){  //one argument
          this(myInt, defaultMyOtherClass);//call real constructor
        MyClass(int myInt, MyOtherClass m){  //actual constructor
         this.myInt = myInt;
         this.MyOtherClass = m;
        public void myDefaultMethod()
            this.myRealMethod(defaultValue);
        public void myRealMethod(int val)
            System.out.println(val);//do work with val
    }I try to avoid default methods and such anyways. It's not hard to pass in regularly used values, better than hiding the implementation.

  • Modify default value for static parameter field programmatically

    Hi,
    I have my Crystal Reports stored in a BO Enterprise system. I have written a java programm that scans the repository, loads the CR reports one by one into a ReportClientDocument, modifies the data source and then stores the updated report back to repository (it overwrites the existing objects).
    I was even able to modify the default values for the parameters, which are used for scheduling of each report.
    But what I am trying to do know is to overwrite the default value used when invoking the report interactively. This should be the value found under the Default Value field, when the Properties window of the parameter is opened in the CR designer.
    This is what I have tried so far:
    Option 1: First I tried to set the default values using com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument.getDataDefinition().getParameterFieldController().getField(...).getDefaultValues() . The only thing I have managed to do using this approach is to modify the static LOVs that are associated to static parameters. The actual selected value (shown under Default Value in the Properties window for the given parameter field) remained unchanged, when invoking the report in the InfoView or opening it in the CR designer.
    Option 2: I have used com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.report.IReport.getReportParameters().get(ik).getDefaultValues() to change the default values. I was able to see my changes in the BO repository (using a query on CI_INFOOBJECTS), still the changes did not really have an impact to what is displayed as default value when invoking the report in the InfoView.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    It would be great to know if someone of you has already implemented successfully such a use-case.

    Stratos

  • How to set the Default values for Info Objects in Data Selection of InfoPac

    Hi All,

    Hi,
    suppose as your ex. if you are having fiscalyear variant in the dataselection tab then specify K4 in the from column, again the ficalyearvariant row and click on insert duplicate row at the bottom . you will get another row . In that enter Y2 in the from column. now you can extract K4, y2 values .

  • Default values for static report parameters are not visible when scheduling

    Hello
    Crystal Reports 2008 Dev
    Crystal Reports Server 2008
    When I publish a report to the repository and then try to schedule that report, the default value that I have set for a static parameter in the report is not visible.
    In the Parameters section of the Scheduling wizard this parameter is marked as [EMPTY]
    However, when I View the report (right click and select View) from within Infoview, the parameter default value is visible
    I have published in the following 3 ways:
    Publishing Wizard
    File > Save As > Enterprise from withing Crystal Reports Dev
    CMC > Folders > Add > Crystal Reports
    The results are the same for each method of publishing.
    To try to eliminate any DB issues etc i have created a report that is not attached to a datasource. 
    This test report has one Static parameter. 
    I have set 3 values for its list: Entry A, Entry B, Entry C
    Entry X is set as the parameter Default Value
    The parameter is placed in the details section of the report
    When the report is Viewed it will prompt for parameter entry, with the default value present
    When I try to schedule the report is will not have an entry for its parameter
    It seems to me that the default values for parameters should be retained from report design through to report schedule, especially when the default values are retained from report design to report View
    Is this a config problem that i have ?
    Can anyone help me with this ?
    Best regards

    Hi Robert
    Thanks for the reply and apologies for not responding sooner.
    What i have found is that if i use Publishing Wizard to upload reports it is then possible to set values for prompts during the last step of this process.
    Although this is a bit clumsy, it is sufficient for now
    Best regards

  • Default Values For Foreign Trade Header Data

    Hello,
    I have defined a price condition (ZPFR) to gather the price from the company to the custom office (the customs office through which the goods enter or leave the country).
    I want that price condition to be determined in the pricing procedure in foreign trades. The fields in the access sequence are the Plant and the Customs office. In customizing, in the point “Default Values For Foreign Trade Header Data”, I have defined a line for the Departure country, the Destination Country and the proper values for the Office of exit, Export Custom Office and Office of destination (the same that I have selected in the condition record). But when I create a sale document, this condition does not determine because the Customs office seems not to have any value in the document. Does anybody what I am doing wrong?
    Thank you in advance,
    Silvia

    You require to do thenecessay configuration for Foreign Trade Data:
    IMG --> Sales and Distribution --> Foreign Trade/Customs --> Basic Data for Foreign Trade --> (Do the necessary configuration here)
    In most probability, it will not default, but it is required to be maintained in Invoice (based on configuration)

  • Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services

    Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services.
    I as well wants to know that is there any posibility to show Calendar control while input data into respective date attributes.
    Thanks.

    Hi Anagha,
    So far i havent found any way to set todays date by default from MMI, but i guess this flow should work as workaroud
    1. Add buisness rule which can set a default value when Date = NULL/Blank
    2.get the entity table ,use -select EntityTable from mdm.tblEntity where Name = '<enter entity name>'
    3.Go to that table and add a after update trigger like
    if uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> = default value
    update uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> =getdate() where id = <LastUpdatedRow>
    I will check on this too from my side.
    By the way AFAIK i dont think so calendar control integration is possible .

  • Default values for executeWithParams

    I have a VO with a query :

    The page has two af:inputDates bound to #{bindings.pFrom.inputValue} and #{bindings.pTo.inputValue}
    and a button bound to #{bindings.ExecuteWithParams.execute}.
    I can input two dates and the query is executed as expected.
    However I can't find how to set a default value for the 2 af:inputDate components.
    I would like to set the them to the first and last date of the current year.
    Anybody got any ideas ?

    You may do this by setting a default value on your variable definitions in the page definition file.
