Display date in report parameter window [message #249692]

Hi,
trying to display a default value for a date in report parameter window
I wrote (INITIALIZE):
var cal = java.util.Calendar.getInstance();
var parseMe = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat("d/MM/y");
var dateValue = parseMe.parse("01/01/" + cal.get(java.util.Calendar.YEAR));
params["myDate"].value = dateValue;
params["myDate"].displayText = dateValue.toString();

myDate is a String format parameter.
When I launch the report and I display "Show report parameters"
I don't see my field filled with the expected value.

Something conceptually wrong in my code?

Bye,
nic

Nic,

The issue is that initialize is called later than code that reads the
parameter values.

Take a look at this wiki entry for a work around.
