[CLOSED]Chain parameters to a calendar control

I have multiple parameters on an html report, and the list of items (per generated parameter from the fex) in their associated dropdown is getting long (and difficult to scroll) as time goes on and more items are added. I've tried chaining the controls to my calendar control, but then the items in the dropdowns are only the ones corresponding to current day in the calendar control and that day only.

I am using a javascript function to update the dates in the calendar controls to a rolling 30 days. Is there a way to reference these variables? Otherwise, how can I reference the current value in the calendar (if even possible)?

Note: I would like to fill the dropdowns where the date is GE calendar1 and LE calendar2.

Thanks, Joe

You may be able to put the result of your javascript function(?) in a hidden field and chain the combination of those two fields to your dropdown. I'm not at all sure that's going to work (timing between IBI functions and form calculations may be wrong, for example), but it's worth a try.

After designing the form in the HTML layout painter, copy the source into a new .fex procedure within the HTML FORM BEGIN and END.

Then assign the variable in the "calendardata" as shown below.

 
<condition default="1" name="Default" whattodowithcontrol="0" valuescompareoperator="0" parameterscompareoperator="0" conditionmultiselectoperator="0">

<data_info calendardata="&CAL_DT" calendardatatype="0" ibiformat="tDMYY" accept="0" calendar_ibiapp_app="" calendar_ibimr_domain="sim859ut/sim859ut.htm" calendar_ibimr_folder="#ppmpocfn4q38" sourcetype="typeMaster">


TO CALCULATE &CAL_DT
--------------------

DEFINE FILE CAR
<CALCULATE ST_DT(Begin Date) AND ED_DT(End Date)> after apply the below define calculation
CAL_DT/A21 = DATETRAN(ST_DT,'(MDYY)','(/m)','EN',10,'A10') || ';' || DATETRAN(ED_DT,'(MDYY)','(/m)','EN',10,'A10');
END

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAL_DT

--- HOLD AS HOLD1

Then.... assign the value to the variable.

-READ CAL_DT2 &CAL_DT.A21.

_---------------------

this is one of the way to achieve rolling 30 days.

Thanks for the replies. I might come back to this later but spending time making this work is actually pretty low on my priorities list right now. For now I'm just hard coding a date value into the parameter:
"WHERE DATE GE '1/1/2011';"
That will do for a while.

If I end up implementing something, I'll update the thread.

Thanks.
