Default selection for Radio button prompt

[KA]

Hi,

I have a radio button prompt which will display two values always from the Query.

The query will fetch only two kind of outputs like,

use value   Display value
1                   Full
3                   partial

otherwise

use value   Display value
4                   Full
2                   partial

By default the use values 1 or 2 should be selected in the radio button prompt which means if 1 and 3 are appearing in the prompt then 1 should be a default value of if 2 and 4 appearing then 2 should be a default value.

I have tried to use the Range selection in the Default selection property by giving the Minimum value 0 and Maximum value 3 but it is not working. But if i give the simple selection as 1 or 2 then it is working properly. Please help if it is possible in cognos to select 1 or 2 by default. Please let me know if it is possible using any script?

Can you have two Radio Button Prompt,

one is for, name it as '1&3'

use value   Display value
1                   Full
3                   partial

Other one is for, name it as '4&2'

use value   Display value
4                   Full
2                   partial

Create a string variable:
If ([Use Value] in (1,3))
then ('1&3')
else ('4&2')

Use a conditional block or render variable. Associate the String variable and the prompt object accordingly.
You also have to change the filter expression as per the condition.

Just a guess, not tested..

Let me know how you go with it?

Thanks

Could you please share the code to see what it does?

Also...when you can specify more than one value in default selections by separating them with a comma
in your e.g...you would specify defaults as 1,2

You can specify only one value in default selection.
