I try to use a calendar cotrol on my report that allow users to input any date they want,but for some reason, after I click on the calendar , pick a date, click on the submit button , the page starts hanging there , forever.......
What is wrong, is this a bug? I am in managed reporting area,I even used bothe exising procedure and manully created the procedure. and I could make the calendar work correct at the project area.
I created this in 2 ways. all in managed reporting area.
1.from scratch, I made a new procedure in resource layout painter-->insert-->new report--->where/if tab to have a variable parameter to ask for a date input , I shoed a calendar allo users to pick a date.
2. Import a existing procedure with date variable parameter already there, changed it to a calendar.
Both ways did not work. but if I change the date input to TEXT BOX control type which allow me to type in a date in certain format'01/01/2005', report worked.
When you have a date variable parameter,on the right side you can see a parameter window, it has a control type with list of options,one of them is calendar, which is the one did not work.
It sounds like there's a disconnect between the the properties of the Calendar "widget" and the underlying data source.
When you use the Calendar function within the Layout tool, the field in the MASTER file must match the format used in the Layout Tool.
Right click the Calendar parameter, choose Calendar properties. You will have several options to choose from (although I am not familiar with all of them).
I typically choose "Static", and make sure to choose valid starting and ending date ranges.
I have successfully created several reports with the calendar parameter. I am still thinking that there is something between how the parameter works and your data.
Unfortunately, I am not a calendar expert. I would suggest that you open a HOTTRACK case with IBI tech support to help resolve your issue.
Interestingly, when I import a fex into Resource Layout and then run it, the calendar icon does not display. When I create a button that executes an external report, then the calendar works.
There was a known issue with layering (depending on how many "objects" are on the page, the calendar icon would disappear.
I had not heard about import vs. button causing same behavior. I suggest opening a case for that ASAP as the next release of Dev Studio is around the corner.
