Hi,

Not sure if this is particularly relevant to this forum, but here goes...

In Ingres Report Writer, how do you prompt a user for an input value, but default to something should they enter blank? In particular, I want to prompt for a date, but default to today's date if blank...

I've tried the following in the .DECLARE section:

indate = date with prompt "Enter date (leave blank for today's date):" with value current_date

which doesn't seem to work.

Incidentally, is it possible to not allow a user to enter a blank input?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
