Re: Reports 2.5: User Parameter, Initial Value --> today's date

Dmitri-

[Quoted] I am aware of the before parameter form trigger, but I have not been able to make it work in this situation. Here is what I tried for this

[Quoted] 	function BeforePForm return boolean is
	  today DATE;
	begin
	  today := to_char(SYSDATE);
	  return (TRUE);
	end;

[Quoted] This compiles, but I have no way of using this value (today) in the Initial Value field. Report triggers must return a boolean value, and they don't allow arguments.

[Quoted] Any further thoughts?

Thanks,
Brian
