Passing Date value to report at runtime

DButtery

Hi all,

OK - Hopefully this is a simple error that I'm overlooking ...

1) I have a report design that has a report parameter of type Date.

2) At runtime I am setting that parameter's value based on user input.

If the user's input is received as a String, then setting the parameter gives the following error:

The type of parameter "InDate" is expected as "date", not "java.lang.String"

OK - That is expected I suppose ...

If the user's input is received as a java.util.Date, the error becomes:

The type of parameter "InDate" is expected as "date", not "java.util.Date"

Hmmmm.... If I can't set the value to a String or Date then what exactly am I supposed to set it to?? What data type is the report parameter expecting?

Thanks,
-Dennis

Dennis,

I believe the engine uses java.sql.Date, but how are you passing it?
