JavaScript reference to value prompt

[qvixote]

Hello!

I started this same thread in Cognos 8 Report Studio by mistake. It must be here.

Here at my job I have some reports that use javascript to set the default value in a datepicker placed in a prompt page. I need to replicate the same functionallity in another report, but instead datepickers there's value prompts (select lists).

In the javascript code of the existing report with datepickers, there's a line referencing to the datepicker like this:

Code Select Expand

pickerControlFechaDesdeP.setValue(strDomingoAnterior);

Where "FechaDesdeP" is the datepicker and "strDomingoAnterior" is the variable with the value to set. What do I need to use insteas "pickerControl..." when using value prompts?

Thanks.

Hi qvixote!

I tried viewing source and couldn't find the one of my prompts.  Here is a guide from IBM on how to retrieve the name of a prompt.  https://www-304.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21376964

Try the Prompt API.  It is documented in the Reporting help.
