Hi All,
I’m trying to display a prompt with list of values and an example how to enter a date if LOV doesn’t contain user’s desired date.

can any one help me to sort it out.

Thanks,
Raju

First, your universe designer would have had to allow a LOV on the object, and allowed the object to be used in a condition.

Then, if you are truly using legacy WebI 1.x/2.x (which correspond to legacy BusinessObjects versions 4.x/5.x), when you build your WebI Query condition, you pick “Enter a prompt” for the operand (rather than “Enter a Constant”…) with prompt text that read however you want.

For example, it might read: Whatever-Date-It-Is (in format MM/DD/YYYY) [or whatever format you should be using based on your system settings].
