Default Value for Parameter Field

[21128]

I am using Crystal Reports XI, Oracle 10g and Esoms as the application to view Crystal Reports. I used the below xml file to pass parameter fields. It works perfect but when the parameter box pops up to select date, it is blank. I can click Ok to proceed without the data entered and it gets the values that i have passed through XML. But the problem is, the values that the crystal reports gets is not seen as a default value in parameter field when i run the report. Is there someway that the parameter field is filled with default value?

Thanks

In wxsl, xs:element can be assigned a default value like this.
[tt] <xs:element name="pName" type="xs:string" minOccurs="0" [blue]default="StartDate"[/blue] />[/tt]
Whether that be effective in this specific application environment, I cannot tell.
