Report data binding error with date values

Question

I have CF7.02 with a Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP1 Database
that I connect to using ODBC (FoxPro Driver 6.01.8630.01). I send
my sql results to a CF Report Builder 7.02 PDF report and it works
fine. If I dump the date values before I change them, they look
like the following: {ts '2004-12-20 00:00:00'} . However I have
tried a number of ways of manipulating the date before sending it
to the report, but I continue to get errors. I don't care what
format they go to the report in, since the report reformats them
anyway. I checked to make sure that none of the dates were null.
For example <cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDateTime(#ldCFPrcInputDate#) /> yields values in the
{ts '2004-12-20 00:00:00'} format when I dump the query results to
screen. Where:
ldCFPrcInputDate = 12/20/2004
CreateODBCDateTime(ldCFPrcInputDate) = {ts '2004-12-20
00:00:00'}
ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = {ts '2004-12-20
00:00:00'}
I get the error:
Report data binding error Unable to get value for field
'prcinputdate' of class 'java.util.Date'.
coldfusion.runtime.OleDateTime -> Date
Not using the CreateODBCDate function for example <cfset
ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = #ldCFPrcInputDate# /> I
get:
Report data binding error Unable to get value for field
'prcinputdate' of class 'java.util.Date'.
java.lang.String -> Date
Here are some of my failed attempts:
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDateTime(#ldCFPrcInputDate#) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
#ldCFPrcInputDate# />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
DateFormat(CreateODBCDate(#ldCFPrcInputDate#),'mm/dd/yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(DateFormat(#ldCFPrcInputDate#,'mm/dd/yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(DateFormat(#ldCFPrcInputDate#,'mm-dd-yyyy') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
Trim(createODBCDateTime(ldtmpdate)) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate({05-07-2006}) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate('{05-07-2006}') />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(05/07/2006) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate('05/07/2006')/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
CreateODBCDate(parseDateTime('05/07/2006')) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
parseDateTime(CreateODBCDateTime(05/07/2006)) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] =
parseDateTime(CreateODBCDateTime('#ldCFPrcInputDate#')) />
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '{05-07-2006}'
/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '{05/07/2006}'
/>
<cfset ReportQuery.PrcInputDate[lcCurRow] = '05/07/2006'
/>
I also did some googling without success. Any help is
appreciated.

You may want to make sure that the column is not included in
the query variable list in your report cfr file.
The newest version of the Report Builder, which may be
installed on the server, no longer tolerates vars appearing in that
list of they are not in the query itselft.
