Deault parameter values

[syncdba]

Hi,
I have created a report in CRXI. Is it possible to create a default value for parameters.
For Ex, For Start_date parameter I had start_date >=
{?start_date}. Now user wants the start_date currently defaults to today but they can also change the Input start_date.
Any help.

Set the default value to 1/1/1970, and turn on the Description only and place Today as the default value for it.

Then in the Report->selection formula->record place:

(
if cdate({?Start_date}) <> cdate(1970,1,1) then
{table.date} = ({?start_date})
else if cdate({?Start_date}) = cdate(1970,1,1) then
{table.date} = currentdate
)

Now if they select Today as the date, it will default to today, otherwise it will observe the date entered in the parameter choice.

-k
