Hi,
I'm using deployed WebViewerExample (3.7) and I want to check if the
date parameter has the specified value. The script:
if(params["from_date"].value == '3000-01-01')
doesn't work. What is the proper syntax?
Generally I want the date parameter to have default value if I don't
provide any. I'm running the report remotely from cron in xls format (so
I can't let the parameter dialog appear) and the default values for
from_date and end_date are calculated in Birt (start of the month and
yesterday). I tried to make a script which would allow to put the value
'default' into date parameters:
http://server/frameset?__report=sales.rptdesign&from_date=default&to_date=default&__format=xls
and then change it to default values in birt, but it doesn't allow me to
put strings into date parameters. So i decided to put the fictional
values like 3000-01-01 and convert this values to default ones.
reportContext.setParameterValue("from_date",
reportContext.getDesignHandle().getParameters().get("from_date").getDefaultValue());
Are some more elegant ways to do this?
Thanks,
Rafal

If you do not make the parameter required it will automatically use the
default date you set. You can either just add it or if you want to use
an expression do something like:
var myDate = new Date();
myDate.setHours(11);
myDate.setMinutes(59);
myDate.setSeconds(59);
myDate.setFullYear(2010,0,14);
myDate;
