Hi everyone !
I'm new in Actuate and I have this task :

I have an Actuate Report working with Siebel.
This report is using text files as inputs too, especially for labels. (internationalisation issue).
My report title comes from a text file.

My need is the following :

I would like to open an InputBox at Report launch to make the customer choose a parameter.
This parameter represents a day count.
With this parameter I would like to customize the report title as follow :

Title : "Records since " & param & " days"

Here is my problem :

- I have placed the InputBox in the Start method of my datasource (works fine)
- I have no idea of how to access and modify my report title

Here is an extract of my source text file :

"ControlName" "NewReportApp::ssPagePortrait1::ssReportTitleP1"
"SuperClassName" "ssPagePortrait::ssReportTitleP"
"LabelText" "Vehicle List"

this is this label (Vehicle List) that I want to access and to modify.

What is the best way to do it ?
 
From Tools, create a Parameter to obtain the required value.

Create a Dynamic Text Box.

The title is formatted in the ValueExp property as "Whatever you want before the parameter" & The Parameter & "whatever you want after the parameter"

Good Luck
