7.1.4 or .5 issue

We are testing 7.1.5 now for an upgrade. We have the following issue I was able to duplicate in the car file. Works in 5.3.5.
I have a case open with IBI, but just wondering if anyone else has this issue.
We have an application in MRE
that Has a -Default with a -Prompt that calls a fex from Self-Service. Below
is the fex if you put the Launch in MRE and the Fex in Self-Service in both
Releases you should see the problem.
In 7.1.5...it completely ignores the Prompt...just accepts the Default and runs the report...bypassing the input screen. The
user should be able to override the default as it does in 5.3.5
(MRE)
-DEFAULT &CNTRY='ENGLAND'
-DEFAULT &CAR1='JENSEN'

-PROMPT &CNTRY.Enter desired Country.
-PROMPT &CAR1.Enter desired Car.
-mrnoedit BEGIN
-INCLUDE thecar.fex
-mrnoedit END
SET ALL = PASS
-RUN

(SELF SERVICE)
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR MODEL SEATS
BY COUNTRY
WHERE COUNTRY EQ '&CNTRY'
WHERE CAR EQ '&CAR1'
END

Prarie,

In 7.x MRE prompting is contolled differently. There are parameter prompt settings in the Admin console of the client. Check those and make sure they are what you want.

Thanks Kevin...I got with Adminstrator...and we experimented and changed the setting to XMLPROMPT and it corrected this issue..but I wonder what else doesn't work now???

Is there just SET commands within a fex we can use?
