Hi,
Does calendar range - dynamic works well in App Studio. For some reason I am having difficulty populating the range.

Here is my prodecure: "calp2.fex"
-*********************************
SET ASNAMES=ON
SET HOLDLIST=PRINTONLY

-*Since CAL_DATE is in "HYYMDs" format, I am converting it into "YYMD".

DEFINE FILE DIM_DATE
C_DATE/YYMD = HDATE(CAL_DATE,'YYMD') ;
END


TABLE FILE DIM_DATE
SUM
MIN.C_DATE AS DATE1
ON TABLE HOLD AS HDATEMIN
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE DIM_DATE
SUM
MAX.C_DATE AS DATE1
ON TABLE HOLD AS HDATEMAX
END
-RUN

TABLE FILE HDATEMIN
PRINT
DATE1
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
MORE
FILE HDATEMAX
END
-RUN

-***********************************
Here is the screenshot from the App Studio.
Not sure what I am doing wrong.




Thanks

Your data type must be Dynamic not Static since you define the values based on TABLE FILE.
Doing that you'll have to assign the fex that creates the XML file (the code that you've included above)

Thanks MartiNY..Clearly, I am doing somethinG wrong and not uNderstanding.
I created a new procedure CALP1.FEX and referenced it for Dynamic data type.
The Date Range is still not working.

Thanks

---CALP1.FEX
SET ASNAMES=ON
SET HOLDLIST=PRINTONLY

DEFINE FILE EDW_PROD/DEV/DIM_DATE
C_DATE/YYMD = HDATE(CAL_DATE,'YYMD') ;
END

TABLE FILE DIM_DATE
BY
C_DATE AS DATE1
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
-RUN

It depends on what you are trying to do.
If you are setting a range where you want the users to only be able to pick dates from something like 01/01/2016 to 06/30/2016. What you're doing is basically correct. However, you want your procedure that gives you the dates to have 2 dates on one line. The first date is the begin date and the second date the end date.



I believe the dates need to be in MDYY format.

I've done this before in 7.7.03. However, I've always found the calendar controls finicky and sometimes they work differently between versions.

If you want to put in a list of dates that are valid you will change the Data type to Dynamic and choose Explicit and pick your procedures.

If you follow the instructions in the documentation and it still doesn't work. I would open a ticket.

I think I figured out what the issue was.

I editied the HTML document and added the full path of the procedure and it seems to be working fine now.
Strange why it wouldn't automatically when I reference it.

before edit:
data_info datatype="0" ibiformat="YYMD" calendardatatype="2" calendardata="calp2.fex"

after edit:
data_info datatype="0" ibiformat="YYMD" calendardatatype="2" calendardata="/WFC/Repository/../calp2.fex"
