Hello Friends,

I have created two Parameters
1) From Creation Date
2) To Creation Date

I Enter the values in both the Parameters it works fantastic.
But I want to modify the Parameter in such a way that if i do not enter any value in any of the parameter, still the Report should work. For Example:

For Parameter: From Creatation Date - 17-OCT-2005
For Parameter: To Creation Date - I do not Enter any Value or I Enter a Date.

If i do not Enter the Date in To Creation Date Parameter Still the Report should Run.

Can any one Explain how to do this?

Thanks and Regards
Saritha

How about providing an initial value to your parameter?
How about using a reports trigger (I don't know the name by hear, but I believe it is "after-paramform")?

Sorry, my bad. I should have my eyes checked Wink I was referring to Reports, of course. You could try using an NVL in your query:
NVL(yourparameter,the_initial_value).

I don't know discoverer so I can't tell you whether it is really possible but it should get you on the way.
