I have a report with all the date in the parameter panel for user to pick. and I used this date to display which data the report is running data for. The data default to the highest date to start, however the date won't display till you click run.

In other words: the default date did not display, but if you hit run button , the date will display. Does any one know why??
below is the code for the run date:

-IF &LASTRUNDATE NE ' ' THEN GOTO EXITRUNDATE;


TABLE FILE JOB_LASTRUN_LOG
BY HIGHEST 1 JOB_LASTRUN_LOG.JOB_LASTRUN_LOG.LASTRUNDATE
WHERE JOB_BATCH EQ 'CSR';
ON TABLE HOLD AS READCSRRD FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-READFILE READCSRRD
-TYPE &LASTRUNDATE

-EXITRUNDATE

In my report, when the report first run, I don't need to click on RUN, it will start with all the default value I had in the report code.
like below:
-DEFAULTH ®ION = 'FOC_NONE';
-DEFAULTH &SITECD = 'FOC_NONE';
-DEFAULTH &CLINIC = 'FOC_NONE';
-DEFAULTH &SUPERVISOR = 'FOC_NONE';
-DEFAULTH &MTH = '';
-DEFAULTH &WFFMT = 'HTML';
-DEFAULTH &LASTRUNDATE = '';

-DEFAULTH &LASTRUNDATE = '';
Your default date is blank.

You may need to add code to set the date if it is not passed from a parameter screen. Something like this:
-DEFAULTH &LASTRUNDATE = '';
-SET &LASTRUNDATE = IF &LASTRUNDATE EQ '' THEN &YYMD ELSE &LASTRUNDATE;

it was set to blank in report code. however it was set up to pull the highest date in the parmater panel,that is why when it runs, it runs at the highest date, but the date won't display
I can't paste the image here. in the propoerties and settings for parameter, I set it run from a .fex program which is the same as the code below to pull the highest date and sort the date by descending

Both of your statements are contrary to other.

Simply, you're not able to pass the values of parameter named LASTRUNDATE from your HTML to fex?

What is the default value of &LASTRUNDATE in your fex? What do you expect in it? Can you tell me the flow?

What is this below code for?
quote:
TABLE FILE JOB_LASTRUN_LOG
BY HIGHEST 1 JOB_LASTRUN_LOG.JOB_LASTRUN_LOG.LASTRUNDATE
WHERE JOB_BATCH EQ 'CSR';
ON TABLE HOLD AS READCSRRD FORMAT ALPHA
END
-RUN
-READFILE READCSRRD
-TYPE &LASTRUNDATE


Does your parameter fex has ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML ? Have you associated your parameters in "Additonal Parameters" button?

Are you in 7.6.x.x? If so, you must use -READ instead of -READFILE

You're struggling so much with LASTRUNDATE naming convention. Try giving different names. Wink
