Running Standard Reports in IBM Cognos ipad App

Hi All,

I am doing some tests running standard, online reports in the iPad IBM Cognos App. I'm very concerned with one aspect:

When using inline prompts (prompts in the report page), the values returned by the prompts are not ok. I found this out by using the paramDisplayValue() and paramValue() report functions to expose the value stored (and used in query filters) and, for example I get this output (example for an OLAP source):

Display Value when run from computer browser: GM-MS

Display Value when run from iPad App: {"display":"GM - MS","use":"<![CDATA[[FF_SALES_ACTUAL_AND_TARGET].[.....]
Value when run from iPad App: {"display":"GM - MS","use":"<![CDATA[[FF_SALES_ACTUAL_AND_TARGET].[.....]


Meaning, inline prompts are useless if used in the iPad app :-(

I don't know if anyone has experience with inline prompts used in the iPad app context. If so please share! :)

Thanks
Pedro Martins
