I've hunted everywhere, and I'm beginning to think this is impossible, however I'll give it a shot...

I would like my Discoverer report start date/end date to default to YESTERDAY.

Can it be done? Thanks in advance.........

I don't use Discoverer so - this might be completely useless.

I'm not sure what you meant to say - is it that you can't set the start/end date values to "yesterday" (which would be SYSDATE - 1 or, probably even better, TRUNC(SYSDATE) - 1), or that you already know that but Discoverer won't accept it, or that you can't set the date values at all.

If "today - 1" doesn't solve your problem, I'm sorry, I can't help any better. Hopefully, someone who uses Discoverer will be able to assist.

Thanks for the reply.

Discoverer will permit SYSDATE, but it chokes on SYSDATE-1, or TRUNC(SYSDATE)-1. I think it doesn't handle defaults properly.
In fact, Discoverer Plus will not permit function calls in conditions either, whereas Discoverer desktop will. Sad
