End of year as default value in date item [SOLVED]

Hi
I'd like the last day of the current year (i.e. 31.12.2008) to be the default value of an item (in Forms 6i) (Format dd.mm.rrrr).
The default value in the database is
TO_DATE('31.12.'||TO_CHAR(sysdate,'yyyy')) and there it works fine.
In Forms I have a WHEN-CREATE-RECORD Trigger with:
my_item := TO_DATE('31.12.'||TO_CHAR(sysdate,'yyyy'));
(generated from Designer)
However, whatwever I write there I always get some "crap" in the form, most of the time 20.12.0031.
I can see that it has something to do with the language settings, but don't know where to make some changes.
Can anybody help my on this, I am aware, trivial matter.
Thanks
Karine

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 set default value to date type attribute.

Hi,
How to set default value to date type attribute.
E.g I want to set u201C01/01/1999u201D to date attributes.
First i want to set value and then i want to fetch the same & want to check equals.
please suggest solution.
Regards,
Smita

Hi,
In wdinit() method u can set the date
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
String reportDate = df.format(today);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(reportDate);
Another way you have set the this formate like that
1. Create a Simple type under "Dictionaries->SimpleType" called DateFormat
2. Select the type as "date"
3. Go to the "Representation" tab and set the format as "dd/MM/yyyy" (or whatever u want, but month should be MM)
4.Bind the context attribute to the type created now.
Hope this helps u.
Best Regards

Cannot set the default value of an item in the detailed table

Hi,
I have Master-Detail group, both are Table formats.
I need to set the default value of an item in the details row to the value of an item in the selected row in the Master table.
I tried Default Display Value=#{row.MasterItem}, but it seems it is trying to access current details row instead of the Master.
I tried #{bindings.MasterGroupColumnName.inputValue}, but it does not work.
Any ideas
Thanks in advance
Mohamed

I think I now what I'm doing differently, I had the "New Rows" JHS property of the detailed table group "empty" instead of the default "2" value.
It seems that "Default Display Value" expression works only for the new records specified in the "New Rows" property. But when I try to "Add" new record using the "Add Row" button, the new record inserted does not have the default values generated, only has values populated for the items of the FK (in the view link) but not the ones set through the property.
I guess in a nutshell, how I can get the details item to behave like the FK columns?
Thanks much
Mohamed

Set default values in date prompt

Hello,
I have tried everything I can find in the forum to resolve a very daunting task. Thanks in advance for all your help.
We have Crystal Server 2008 with Tomcat and IIS.
I have several reports that use start date and end date as parameters. When the user launches the report date prompt dialog box appears where you user can input the values. Typically (75% ) the user is always looking for yesterday's data however at times he/she would want to pick different date range to review the results. The requirement is to set the default values in the dialogbox to be currentdate-1. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Paul.

What we do for all of our reports is have the date parameters be text fields that allow something like PD for prior day, PM for prior month, CM for current month, YTD for year to date, etc. We then have crystal functions (and database functions; one for start dates and one for end dates) that translates the characters to real dates. If the text entered does not match one of the "mnemonics", it is assumed to be a date, and it is treated as such. This allows using the same report for scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc. and ad-hoc runs without any other special coding. In your case, you'd set the default parameter values to PD.
Our mnemonics are of the form [PY]{P|C}{D|W|M|Q|Y}[DOW][{+|-}n], where [PY] is optional to specify a prior year date (for comparison reports), P=Prior, C=Current, D=Day, W=Week, M=Month, Q-Quarter, Y=Year, [DOW] is optional, and used with [PY] to specify that you are looking for the same day of week in the prior year (if CD=8/24/09, PYCDDOW=8/25/08), and the +n or -n allows you to add or subtract days/weeks/months/quarters/years (depending on the interval used) to the date.
HTH,
Carl

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

Can you set a default value using Data Mover Scripts?

Hi,
We're going through a upgrade of PS Fin 8.9 -> 9.1. We've found some existing tables with new columns that are marked as NOT NULL so we're having trouble migrating the data using DMS.
Is there a way to Export the data from 8.9 and when importing into 9.1, set a default value for the new column using DMS?
A specific example would be the PS_SOURCE_TBL where EXCHANGE_RATE_OPTN is new and NOT NULL.
Thanks for any assistance.

What you could do is first rename the record to be imported
IMPORT SOURCE_TBL AS PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG;
Then write a insert/select script from PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG to PS_SOURCE_TBL defaulting column EXCHANGE_RATE_OPTN
Insert into PS_SOURCE_TBL (COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN, EXCHANGE_RATE_OPTN)
select PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG (COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN,COLUMN, 'defaultvalue');
And then drop table PS_SOURCE_TBL_ORG to clean up your database.

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

Set default value for listbox items - Acrobat Javascript

Hello,
I am trying to set the default value for a listbox where multiple items are selected.
If a single item is selected then this.getField("zzz").defaultValue = x; works fine, but you cannot use defaultValue for multiple indicies. The manual mentions the user or export events but I cannot see how that would work.
Any help will be appreciated.
Andrew

I hope somebody can provide help with this as I'm having a similar problem.
