Date in prompt

building semantic layer
#1

Hi,

I am using BO 6.5 with SQL Server 2000.

I have a date feild(02/01/2005) in my database. When I create a prompt at report level using this date feild,in the list of values for this date prompt i have the date as 02/01/2005 12:00:00 AM. I need to get rid of the 12:00:00 AM in my date list. I need only 02/01/2005 in my list.

Help me in acheiving this.

Thanks in advance.

Kashif,

Thanks for the help. Is there any way to create a prompt without List of values.

When you create a prompt using the @PROMPT function you can:

A) Use a universe LOV
B) Hardcode the list of values into the @Prompt
C) Provide no LOV at all

When prompting for dates (true dates, not character representations), most people find LOVs add little value. It’s faster just to type it in.
