Passing parameter to Rapid Runner

Post by Ann_E_(Guest) » Thu Aug 05, 2004 2:46 pm

I^ve set up a calculated field - AsOfParam - in my report: __CTOD(RIPARAM("As Of Date")) and added it to the report filter: Table.effective_date <= AsOfParam____Then I added this report to a Rapid Runner report set. I have a parameter set up called As Of Date and set a default parameter value. I will call Rapid Runner unattended via a host program that runs on a scheduled basis. My host program will determine the as of date and I want to pass that value in to replace the default parameter value in Rapid Runner. Is there a command line switch that can be used? I want to avoid linking my report to a control table if at all possible as that really slows down the report.____Or are there other options I should explore to accomplish this?

There is not a way to pass this dynamically to Rapid Runner I am afraid. You would need to use a direct call to runtime and a control table.____Kathleen__R&R Support
