Prompt for user input when running a report.

[dhutcheson]

I have a report which uses a query to filter a date range. I want to be able to run the report and have it prompt the user to enter the date range, rather than manually changing the query every time. I know there has to be a way to do this, but I haven't been able to figure it out. Thanks.

var
rpt Report
rptInfo reportPrintInfo
dd date
endVar
;typical code
rptInfo.name = ":MYALIAS:MYRPT.RSL"
rptInfo.masterTable = ":MYALIAS:MYQUERY.QBE"
;see help for the other reportPrintInfo parameters

dd = today()
dd.view() ; user can edit the value

; typical lines in query

|start date|\n
|~dd |\n

rpt.print(rptInfo)

HOPE THIS HELPS.
