Change default range display strings

[arwol]

I am working on a report studio report in which I have an optional textbox prompt for age. So users can enter a minimum age, maximum age, both or nothing.
When I display my parameter value on the report page the default strings appear. In English this will be:
- 'Greater than or equal to xx'
- 'Between xx and yy'
The Dutch translation is:
- 'Groter dan of gelijk aan xx'
- 'Tussen xx and yy'
I want to change those default strings to something like:
- '>= xx'
- 'xx - yy'
I found some xml files in the cognos directory which describe default promptingstrings and I tried to change some, but I can't get other than default strings here.

Does anyone have a clue about this?

Thanks in advance!

Arianne-
I think you may have to resort to 2 optional prompts with 2 optional filters (for separate start and end parameters) to do what you want, with a calculated data item or some conditional formatting to get text in your desired format onto the report.
If you do find a way to manipulate the ParamDisplayValue please post your solution...
