Default values

Default values

(OP)
Can please somebody help me with the default values problem? If I pass '$*' as  default value for a parameter and then compare it with a string, it is working fine. I am having problem comparing with a numeric value. Please help. I am using Dev Studio 5.2.
Thanks,
WFR

RE: Default values

Hi

try this value.

'1 OR (1 EQ 1)'

this can work in your program?

RE: Default values

(OP)
That doesn't work Simaccs! I would like it to work with any numeric value (a numeric field from the database to be compared with the parameter value).
Thanks Simaccs.

RE: Default values

Raj,
I ran into the same problem.  I'm also using WF5.2.  It turns out Simaccs is right.

Try this:
-DEFAULT &SeatsPropmt = 'ALL';
-SET &SeatsWhere = IF &SeatsPropmt EQ 'ALL' THEN '1 OR (1 EQ 1)' ELSE &SeatsPropmt;
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT
CAR
SEATS
WHERE SEATS EQ &SeatsWhere;
END

Thanks for the solution, Simaccs.
Regards,
Michael
