SAP/Crystal Issue

Question

I have built a Crystal report that works flawlessly in Crystal. As soon as I import it into SAP I get an error dealing with the parameter not being supported. I have looked but can't seem to still understand why, or what I am doing wrong. I need to have the ability to have 3 optional prompts for this report.  The banking manager wants to be able to search by either the vendor #, check #, or check date, or utilizing all three if need be. I used a previous query that was used in B1 and then dropped it into the command option of Crystal.
I am using the below statement in my Crystal record select.
(not HasValue({?Date Range}) OR {Command.Check Date} = {?Date Range}) and
(not HasValue({?Check Number}) OR {Command.Check Number} = {?Check Number}) and
(not HasValue({?Vendor #}) OR {Command.CardCode} = {?Vendor #})
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Dayton
You need the 4 separate tests for each parameter so in your example each of the 3 parameters will have all 4 tests rather than the 2 that they get by default.
For the vendor it will be like the following
((not HasValue({?Vendor #}})
or isNULL({?Vendor #})
or {?Vendor #} = '')
OR {Command.CardCode} = {?Vendor #})
Casting the numeric field to character in your command is a good idea for the check number and then, provided the check number parameter entered is a string it should be OK.
Not sure about the date range.  I have not tried that.  Perhaps you can cast as a string in 'yyyymmdd' format but you might end up having to manually convert the dates entered into formula fields for the range and use that.
