Displaying the parameter choices made for the user:
String parameters:
Discrete:
{?MyStringParameter}
Range value separated by ô to ö:
Minimum({?MyStringParameter})&" to "& Maximum({?MyStringParameter})
Multiple Discrete values separated by a comma:
join({?MyStringParameter},",")
Multiple Range values separated by a carriage return:
whileprintingrecords;
stringvar Output:="";
numbervar Counter;
For Counter := 1 to ubound({?MyStringParameter}) do(
Output:= Output&minimum({?MyStringParameter}[Counter])& " to "& maximum({?MyStringParameter}[Counter])&chr(13)
);
left(Output,len(Output)-1)

Numeric parameters:
Discrete:
{?MyNumericParameter}
Range value separated by ôtoö:

For concerns with decimal precision and thousands separator, use:

As you can see from these examples, the differences between string and numeric (or dates and other data types) is that you must first convert non-string data types to a string, hopefully this will allow you to handle any data types.
