Format Date Parameters

jballnik

I'm displaying a date range in the report title as a STRING and by default it prints out a very long date. This is what I currently have as the expression:

"DATE RANGE: " + params["startdate"] + " - " + params["enddate"]

Is there a way I can format the date so it prints out in the following format: mm/dd/yyyy?

thanks...John

Hi John,

Use a Text control, then select HTML from the drop-down, and use an expression like below.

DATE RANGE: <VALUE-OF format="Short Date">params["startdate"].value</VALUE-OF> - <VALUE-OF format="Short Date">params["enddate"].value</VALUE-OF>
