As an addition to Frank's question, how is the field you are selecting on formated? Is it a date field?

first: let me apologize for the signature.

second: that was the wrong question.

Here's my dilemma:

I need to link another report based on the across date and the code when i click on the amount.
The date is generated by an across date field.


01/02/2008 01/05/2008 01/06/2008
______________________________________

by code 001 520.00 2460.00 500.30
002 310.00 500.30 1300.25



The question is how do i link 520.00 base on '01/02/2008' when code eq '001'. I need to bring the date parameter in the next report.

Here's what i have:

TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=C1, COLOR = BLUE,
FOCEXEC = myrep( ), \
WHEN = COEDE EQ 2,
$

thanks,

freddie

Unfortunately, you cannot use the CHGDAT function to change the abbreviated month in your Dialogue Manager variable - this does not work, because you cannot specify the T or X in the format of the input, just in the format for the output:

-SET &ECHO=ALL;
-SET &SHPDT = 'Feb 2008';

-SET &SD1 = CHGDAT('MtYY', 'MxYY', &SHPDT, 'A17');

-TYPE &SHPDT &SD1


I couldn't come up with anything shorter than this:

-SET &SHPDT = 'Feb 2008';

-SET &SM1 = EDIT(&SHPDT,'999$$$$$');

-SET &SM2 = DECODE &SM1(
-  'Jan' 'January', 'Feb' 'February', 
-  'Mar' 'March', 'Apr' 'April');

-SET &SHPDT2 &SM2 || EDIT(&SHPDT,'$$$99999');

-TYPE &SHPDT / &SM1 / &SM2 / &SHPDT2

Let me clarify what is meant by "signature", it is not "just your name".
You should update your signature in your profile with some information about version number, platform, database systems etc, so we know what advice could be interesting for you.
Some functions only work since version 7.1.x or are special for DevStudio.
