ParameterRR default value from control file

Post by gnewcomb » Fri Nov 02, 2012 11:08 pm

Is it possible to pass in a defualt value for a ParameterRR field from the viewer control file? This would be a useful feature for running reports when unattended mode is necessary.

You can^t pass in a ParameteRR field, but you can pass in a parameter. For example:____***____ri_report=MyReport.RRW__mydateparam=07/15/2012____***__Then in the report, you^d have a calculated field:____Name: DateFromOutside__Expression: CTOD(RIPARAM("mydateparam"))______This would let you pass in a date from the outside.
