I am creating a report that returns a list of tasks. The task has a status, a due date, and a completion date. A task is considered overdue if the status is 1 (open), the completion date is null, and the due date has passed.
It my metadata, I created the following field: DEFINE OVERDUE_FLAG/I4 MISSING ON WITH AI_ACTIONITEMID=IF AI_STATUSID EQ 1.00 AND DTDIFF('&DATEYYMTD' , AI_TARGET_DT, DAY) GT 0 AND DTDIFF('&DATEYYMTD' , AI_COMPLETE_DT , DAY) LE 0 THEN 1 ELSE 0;
I have included this field on my report and it is working properly and can be used to highlight the overdue rows on the report.
The issue is creating a filter that shows all tasks, only overdue tasks, or only on schedule tasks.
I have this parameter: &&OVERDUE_OPTION, PROMPT='Overdue', USAGE=I4, DEFAULT='_FOC_NULL', ACCEPT=DECODE(<'All', '_FOC_NULL'>, <'Overdue', '1'>, <'Not Overdue', '0'>), $
And this filter: SELECT_OVERDUE_OPTION WITH AI_ACTIONITEMID=OVERDUE_FLAG EQ &&OVERDUE_OPTION;
If I select All or Not Overdue, the report returns all records. If I select Overdue, the report returns no records.
How should I go about setting up a filter for this report that satisfies the user requirements? I am using App Studio and WF 8.2.0.3. Thanks.This message has been edited. Last edited by: FP Mod Chuck,
@BabakNYC: The parameter is defined as an I4, so I would expect it to pass an integer.
@Frans: I have a filter in the business view called SELECT_OVERDUE_OPTION as defined. The where clause is WHERE SELECT_OVERDUE_OPTION; I am prompted for the &&OVERDUE_OPTION, but the results are not as expected. I did try hard-coding the parameter and the criteria into the report instead and the results were the same.
