Hi,

I have a date/time field in my cognos 7.4 catalog, im trying to create a prompt where the user can select only MM/YYYY.

Does anyone know how I can just strip the date/time element and just display MM/YYYY in the prompt for a period of 10 years.

thanks

Sid

How about using a Report Picklist in the Prompt Manager?
Create a picklist report that shows a MM/YYYY format prompt, but uses a datetime field in the main report's filter.

Base the picklist report on a numbers table and use add-months function on curdate() (or whatever the current date function you have) to create the required date range.
