Help with displaying inputparams value in report

ccoutsouve

Good afternoon all

I create a report that reflexes the data range parameter based on the current date/time and now I am having a hard time display the inputParams["START_DATE"]  and inputParams["END_DATE"] values as either a text element or dynamic text element. I've tried using global variables based on searches online but I cannot get it to work. I am new to this and any help will be appreciated thank you.

beforeOpen dataset script:

if (params["RDR"].value == 1){

inputParams["START_DATE"] = Formatter.format(priormonth_start, 'dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss');

inputParams["END_DATE"] = Formatter.format(priormonth_end, 'dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss');

}else{

inputParams["START_DATE"] = Formatter.format(params["SDATE"].value, 'dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss');

inputParams["END_DATE"] = Formatter.format(params["EDATE"].value, 'dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss');

I am not sure what you are trying to do with the code.  You mentioned displaying parameter values as Text elements on the report.  You can display the parameter values simply by dragging the parameters from the Data Explorer editor pane onto the report body.  

Typically, code is not placed in beforeOpen of the data set unless you are trying to dynamically change the query before running it. 

What is your goal?
