URL Passing Report Parameter w/ Special Character in URL

[fhouser]

Hi Cognoise,

I have a requirement to have reports called from a webportal via the reports URL.

For reports with a single, numeric parameter, the URL is working perfectly

However, when I try to pass a URL which contains a ':', the URL is bombing. I am trying to pass May 21st, which is formatted in the report to be 'May : 21'

Passing the first parameter, 2008, is working no problem. However when I add the 2nd parameter, I am getting issues

Here is an example of what I need to pass

...run.outputFormat=&run.prompt=false&Parameter1=2008&Parameter2=May : 21

Thank you!

Hi fhouser,

some characters in the URL are reserved. You have to encode these characters, so you can pass them via URL.

Thanks for the quick response!

Let me try that and get back to you!
