BIRT- date manipulation for query [message #956740]

Hi,

I am new to BIRT and struggling with an issue that might be simple but has me stumped.
I need to get the list of people who have applied for a claim from start of the the year to the given date.
I have 1 input parameter - as_of_date which I accept from the user.
I need to identify the start of the year date and create my query to fetch results between the 2 dates.
This is what i tried.
1. In the query, I entered the query as

select user_id, claimdate from Claims where status='A' and claimdate > ?
In Property Binding,
var thisdate = params["as_of_date"].value;
var formattedDate = thisdate.getYear() + '-' + thisdate.getMonth() + '-' + thisdate.getDate();
var yearStartDate = thisdate.getYear() + '01-01';
"select user_id, claimdate from Claims where status='A' and claimdate >= " + yearStartDate + " and claimdate <= " + formattedDate;

I run the report and enter the date as 2012-10-25 and I get the exception :
Cannot set the date value (2012-10-25 00:00) to parameter 1.
Cannot set preparedStatement parameter date value.
SQL error #1: Descriptor index not valid.

The query is adding the time stamp to my date.Please help.

The error you're getting is because the parameter value is going to the original '?' marker in your query. If you change the original query to:

select user_id, claimdate from Claims where status='A'

that error should go away.
