Hi!
I need to generate a report for some date in the past. However the report uses current_date parameter in several places making it hard for me to use _add_days(current,number) in order to alter current_date. Is there a way to manipulate current_date for a specific report without using cognos configuration?
The _add_days function does not alter the current_date the way you expect. It is just a function applied to data, not an adjustment of the date setting..
Hi,
I agree with blom; only way would be to change the parameters as needed where the current date is being references and replace it with a data item which will be a prompted value for date selection.
And if you still need the current date to also to work you would need to give it a optional prompt so that if user doesn't pick a date or you will default back to current date.
Thanks,
