I have difficulties locating information on these topics. Most of our DeskI reports are freehand-sql reports. The queries contain @prompt functions.
First question is: where can I find the documentation on @PROMPT? What are the parameters?
When ran in Infoview date prompts are sometimes followed by a button that displays a calendar control to select the date, sometimes not.
Second question: what determines when the button is used?
Sometimes if someone modifies a report and exports it again the date format in the Infoview prompt changes, in particular if the button is used. For instance there was a report prompting for a start date and an end date. Both dates were returned in European format (day/month/year) and apparently the start date was followed by time 00:00:00 and the end date by 23:59:59. Now, after someone exported the report again with a non-related change to the query, the dates are in American format (month/day/year) and are both followed by time 12:00:00
Third question: what determines the date format returned by the calendar control? (More importantly, how do I control the format)
This is driving me mad as users are asking me to put it back as it was last week and I can't find anything about any of this. I asked questions by raising a ticket several months ago and was taken to a wild goose chase involving several Webex sessions with an support engineer changing the locale of my machine to Fidji (or something) telling me that this was the place that had the date format I wanted. Nice one. Of course it was not. It happened the current month in that locale was like in English but the following month was not...
Thanks in advance for any help.
