when imported to tivoli common reporting, the datetime parameter will divided to two part, one has a calendar popup to enter date, another is a clock icon to enter time.
I want the user can just select the date and the time will be default to 11:59:59pm (and this default value can be visible and modify by the user)
is this possible?

thanks in advance

what is doing the dividing? How is the parameter passed to tivoli? It
should be fairly simple to set the time but with a datetime field the
date will need to be set.

I do not know how to attach file in this forum.
in eclipse birt designer, it is just a datetime field (one field), but when imported to tivoli common reporting, the field is shown as two component (do not know the reason), one component has a calendar icon to enter date part, another is a clock component to enter time part, if user just enter the date without the time part, the application will assume the time is 12:00:00 am, but I want if the user just input the date, the time will be default to 11:59:59 pm.
Also, I want this default value can visible to user, otherwise, user will not know the time is default to 11:59:59 pm.

Just select the xml view and copy and paste the xml to your response.
What does the date default to?

when I back to office I will attach the xml source, the date has no default now, but I think it is acceptable to set to system date:11:59:59 pm and let user see and change this default value before user enter data, how could this be accomplished?

thanks.

It 2.2.1 it is more difficult to do than in later versions of BIRT.
Essentially you have to create a scripted dataset that you tie to the
parameter. Take a look at this example.

You can set up a parameter default datetime like this:
BirtDateTime.addSecond(BirtDateTime.today(), 86399)
This yeilds the current date with time of 11:59:59 PM.

You can set any time to the second this way. Just do so math to figure out what second of the day equates to the time you want.

Let me know if this is what you are looking for.
