Display date report parameter in specific format [message #201009]

I have a report with 2 date report parameters that I want to display at
runtime in the format yyyy/mm/dd.

If I set my StartDate parm = 15-OCT-2006

IF I just add params["StartDate"], the date is displayed in long date
format.

params["StartDate"].value.getYear() returns 106
params["StartDate"].value.getMonth() returns 9
params["StartDate"].value.getDate() returns 15

Any ideas on what I need to do.

Thanks
Carole

There is a Format DateTime property in the property editor that
should allow you to format the way you want to.

Even if I specify the DateFormat in the property Window for the parameter
window, when I try to make an expression e.g. "startDate=" +
params["startDate"], it defaults to long format as well. The only way I
could get this to work is to do the following:
"startDate=" +
(params["startDate"].value.getMonth() + 1) + "/" +
params["startDate"].value.getDate() + "/" +
(params["startDate"].value.getYear() + 1900)
