How can we pass macro filters value from URL to Cognos reports?

Hi Techies
Usually prompt values are passed by &p_Paramatername=value or in the encoded form. It is working for general paramterized filters but not for filter with macros.
My filter is like this,
#prompt('Parametername','token','[TIMESTAMP_VALUE] = 2000-01-01T00:00:00')#

This filter is included for creating reports to find out the data for last month, last year etc (data grouping prompt). My value prompt has static choice.

Any idea?

Thanks
Vishnu

Did you try to urlEncode the passing parameter value?

I had a similar problem where a value contained '+'. I used urlEncode and then the value was passed successfully.
