[SOLVED] !IBI.amp.VARIABLE syntax in 8.2

We are in the process of trying to upgrade to 8.2 and we have noticed that our HTML files that contain the !IBI.amp.HTMLDATESTART ; type syntax are not able to be ran. Has this functionality been removed or restricted? Has anyone else ran into this issue and been able to work around it?

This was the only way we know how to default controls like calendar controls to certain values, so we would like to keep this functionality if possible.

Also, the error we're receiving is an alert that says "User does not have permission to run Portal Content"

The ability to use a variable in a web page is an important component of many of our -HTMLFORMs and I believe for other IB customers, so I don't think it would go away.

The syntax in the 'Developing Reporting Applications' shows 'AMP' to be in caps, and the semi-colon to immediately follow the variable name.

Here is an example, from one of our -HTMLFORMs:
<style>
 .tag {
    float: left;
    position: relative;
    left: 0px;
    top: 0px;
    z-index: 1000;
    margin-bottom: -20px;
    margin-right: -20px;
    display: !IBI.AMP.DISPLAYICON; ;
  }
</style>


Maybe adjust your syntax and retest?

Are you putting amp in uppercase and not having a space before the ending semicolon? Like this:

 
!IBI.AMP.HTMLDATESTART;

You guys are right. It appears the syntax was not sensitive in our current version (8105). After changing to all caps and moving the semicolon, the error went away.

Though I did not test which specific change corrected it.
