Hi All,

I've 2 Calendar controls in my HTML page.

If i select the date July 28,2013 in the 1st Calendar control and second calendar control should populate with the dates from July 28,2013 to Aug 28,2013.(only 30 Days enabled). Other dates must be disabled in the 2nd Calendar control.

I've tried something like below:

-DEFAULT &CAL = '';-*Parameter name for 1st Calendar control
-IF &CAL EQ 'FOC_NONE' THEN GOTO LB1;
TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
PRINT FIRST_NAME NOPRINT
COMPUTE DATE_PLUS_THIRTY/YYMD = DATEADD('&CAL','D',30);
END
-LB1
-EXIT


How to pass the resulting variable to 2nd Calendar control and enable only 30 days from the date i've chosen in 1st Calendar Control in HTML Composer?

I don't have idea in JS. Confused

Please help me on this.

Thanks,
Rifaz

Have you tried chaining them?

Yea, chaining with the calendar controls kind of sucks. I believe you will need to use a hidden text box as a middle man and then chain that value to the fex populating the second calendar control (unfortunately having a calendar control populated by an external procedure only works in IE as far as I can remember which means users will either have to use IE or IE tab in chrome or firefox for that to work.

If anyone has a workaround for that I'm all ears.

If i pass a date from hidden text box to 2nd calendar control, is it possible that when i click on 2nd calendar in the output, only desired 30 days are enabled?

Hi,

First, i tried using TEXT and CALENDAR control as you suggested.

CAL.fex
-------
TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
PRINT FIRST_NAME NOPRINT
COMPUTE DATEHIRED/YYMD = HIRE_DATE;
COMPUTE DATE_PLUS_THIRTY/YYMD = DATEADD(DATEHIRED,'D',30);
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END



In EDIT, associate CAL.fex and DATEHIRED as your display value.In CALENDAR,associate CAL.fex and DATE_PLUS_THIRTY as your display value.Chain them, resolving parameter is DATEHIRED.
As expected, only 30 date values are enabled initially.But, supplying manually other dates in TEXT, results no change in CALENDAR.

Correct me, if i'm wrong?

So, i tried in another method, by declaring PARAMETER(&CAL) in EDIT and in resolves parameter including the same.

Please find the image in detail.

In my HTML file, i've
---------------------
var varNamePassed= "!IBI.AMP.&CAL;";
function onInitialUpdate()
{
document.getElementIdBy('edit1').value = varNamePassed;
}


In my TEXT control
----------------
-DEFAULT &CAL = '';
-IF &CAL EQ 'FOC_NONE' THEN GOTO LB1;
TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
PRINT FIRST_NAME NOPRINT
COMPUTE DATEHIRED/YYMD = HIRE_DATE;
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END
-LB1
-EXIT


In my CALENDAR control, i've
-------------------------- 
-DEFAULT &CAL = '';
TABLE FILE EMPLOYEE
PRINT FIRST_NAME NOPRINT
COMPUTE DATEHIRED/YYMD = HIRE_DATE;
COMPUTE DATE_PLUS_THIRTY/YYMD = DATEADD('&CAL','D',30);
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT XML
END


Apologies, if it doesn't makes sense.

Thanks,
Rifaz
