Hi,

Just wondered if it was possible to have a report dynamically set the
formats for dates and numbers based on the locale of a user provided from
the datasource?

Thanks,
Jo-Anne

Locale can be passed into the report from the viewer using
__locale URL Parameter. Are you wanting different locales in the same
report?

All our users are from various countries running our software from a
central server. The user has a specific locale that is associated with
the users specs. I need to be able to generate the reports using the same
template but have the date & number formats be set dynamically based on
the locale in the data.

You can specify locale in the __locale url parameter. Will this not
work for you?

Thanks Jason, I'll have to try that out. I'm fairly new to BIRT so I'm
still learning lots!!
