Hi,

Cognos offers in the 10.2.x Version the so called prompt api. That is a set of functions to manipulate and validate prompt values. You can use These functions to set up your prompts in your reports.

In my blog you find a tutorial on the prompt api: http://bi-solutions.gaussling.com/cognos-javascript-part-iii-prompt-api/

I hope that helps you...

Here's a good solution for resetting values to their defaults when you have multiple prompts:
http://www.performanceg2.com/resetting-prompts-default-values-cognos/

If all you need is to just clear the values, you can use the following script:

Code Select Expand


function clearAllValues() {
var oCR = cognos.Report.getReport("_THIS_");
var aControls = oCR.prompt.getControls();
for (var i = 0; i < aControls.length; i++) {
aControls[i].clearValues();
}
}

Thanks a lot CognoidJay, its almost done ... but clearing values didnot resolve the issue... for default prompt values i went through the link, but i could not accomplish the task.. can you please modify the code and send that to me for my convenience.
