Currently the year in the calendar tool will only allow you to go back -50 years. Which means it is useless if you want to use it as a birthdate. What is the easiest solution to get around this since programming sees no need in changing this default?

Could you provide us with the specific version of WebFOCUS 8 you're using?
Also, is this with the autoprompt or are you putting this in an HTML composer page in App Studio?

Sample fex would be very helpful too.

From HTML composer, the calendar control settings can only go from +/-50 years.
Do not allow to go below or over that.

Maybe a NFR

If this was Maintain, you could preset the variable populating the calendar with a date like 1930/01/01. When I click on the year drop down I see 1920 - 2030.

It looks like if you set a Static Value like that it works as well.

I was able to get a work around from Tech Support using js. This allows the calendar year datepicker to go back 100 years.

var today = new Date();
var yy = today.getFullYear()-100;
var fromDate = new Date();
fromDate.setFullYear(yy, 0, 1);
var toDate = new Date();
toDate.setFullYear(toDate.getFullYear() + 100);
IbComposer_setCalendarDatesRange('calendar1', fromDate, toDate);

Use a static date range and you can go back to 1850

IBI uses jQueryUI for their forms, so the library is already loaded (along with jQuery) and in the 'Embedded Javascript' tab you can easily change any of the options listed here: https://api.jqueryui.com/datepicker/

Just do the following to put your custom calendar control:

  • Draw a Calendar control and note or change the unique ID. Example: 'calendar1.'
  • Go to the 'Embedded Javascript' tab at the bottom
  • In the function window_onload(), just add the few lines of code after the UpdateData() function call.

Here is an example that uses the jQuery animations to scale in from the button 
  
function window_onload() {
    UpdateData();
    const calendar1 = document.getElementById('calendar1');
    $(calendar1).removeClass().datepicker({
        showAnim: "scale",
        showOptions: { origin: ["top", "right"] },
        showOtherMonths: true,
        selectOtherMonths: true,
        hideIfNoPrevNext: true,
        yearRange: '-100:+0',
        minDate: '-100y',
        maxDate: 0,
        changeMonth: true,
        changeYear: true,
        showOn: "button",
        buttonImage: "/ibi_apps/ibi_html/javaassist/ibi/html/maint/dynCalendar.png",
        buttonImageOnly: true,
        buttonText: "Select date",
    });
}
