    Posted: 13 Dec 2011 at 5:29am
Hi,
I have a report that includes a date parameter (equal to ot greater than) that won't return data that has a date in next year (2012). I did not create this but the end users tell me that this happens every December and that the previous consultant would tweak it and they'ld be good for the next 12 months. I would appreciate any guidance and I thank you in advance.

What are you trying to achieve? Could you link the parameter currently being used, and maybe the formula it uses?
 
I can only assume that maybe year is evaluated by "{print date}" or something.
 
If I saw select I could figure it out

not ({tsoSalesOrder.Status} in [4]) and
{tsoSalesOrder.CompanyID} = "BIO" and
{tsoSalesOrder.DfltPromDate} >= DateTime (2011, 12, 01, 00, 00, 00) and
{tsoSalesOrder.DfltShipDate} >= DateTime (2011, 12, 01, 00, 00, 00) and
{tsoSalesOrder.Expiration} >= DateTime (2011, 12, 01, 00, 00, 00) and
{@Seed Arrival Date} >= {?Seed Arrival Date}
 
This report lists orders by their arrival date. This data is stored in a udf. The formula to re-arrange the format looks like this (12/13/110
if length ({tsoSalesOrder.userFld1}) = 10
then {tsoSalesOrder.userFld1}[6 to 7]+ "/" + {tsoSalesOrder.userFld1}[9 to 10] + "/" + {tsoSalesOrder.userFld1}[3 to 4]
else {tsoSalesOrder.userFld1}

are you looking for 12 months of data, or just 2012?

They usually look from today forward about two months, max.
 
Thanks,

use

datetime(DateAdd ("m", 2, CurrentDate)), that should work

{tsoSalesOrder.DfltPromDate} >= DateTime (2011, 12, 01, 00, 00, 00) and
{tsoSalesOrder.DfltShipDate} >= DateTime (2011, 12, 01, 00, 00, 00) and
{tsoSalesOrder.Expiration} >= DateTime (2011, 12, 01, 00, 00, 00)

stupid to statically list date years especially in a parameter
