How to set date for report parameter?

dzish

Hi,<br />
<br />
I would like to continue <a class='bbc_url' href='http://www.birt-exchange.org/forum/designing-birt-reports/12589-parameter-date-validation-reformating.html'>http://www.birt-exchange.org/forum/designing-birt-reports/12589-parameter-date-validation-reformating.html</a>. Ducharme was writing without answer<br />
<blockquote class='ipsBlockquote' ><p>
params["SD"].value=="10/02/2008";<br />
params["ED"].value="10/03/2008";<br />
BirtComp.lessOrEqual(myStartDate, myEndDate);<br />
It prints out the sting even though the SD and ED are date types. However, <br />
<br />
if I replace the code to set SD and ED with:<br />
params["SD"].value=myStartDate;<br />
params["ED"].value=myEndDate;<br />
<br />
nothing is printed. Is this really generating a date?<br /></p></blockquote>
<br />
I have similar problem. I tried set date report parameter value with text - doesn't work. With new Date() - exception. Do you know how to set report parameter with "date" type?

The error is caused by more complicate report. When I use simple report I can use and it works:<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
importPackage(Packages.java.util);

var calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
var time = calendar.getTimeInMillis();

params["test"] = new Packages.java.util.Date();
</pre>
<br />
It's also possible to use new Packages.java.sql.Date(). So you can not help me.<br />
