GOAL:
How to pass multiple date variables in report engine RB-OTHER-PARAMETERS.
GOAL:
Report Builder.
FIX:
Here is an example of how to include multiple data variables in the RB-OTHER-PARAMETERS parameter of the Report Engine.
Each variable must be separated by a line-feed character, either ~n or the ASCII equivalent CHR(10).
The entire expression is concatenated together as a single string.
RB-OTHER-PARAMETERS would read as follows:
"RunTimeA = " + string(valueA) + "~n RunTimeB = " + string(valueB)
In order to use this calculated field in Report Builder use RUNTIME-PARAMETER function in a Calculated Field.
NUMERIC(RUNTIME-PARAMETER("RunTimeA") + NUMERIC(RUNTIME-PARAMETER("RunTimeB")
Note that when you use numeric field a numeric cast is needed as the RUNTIME-PARAMETER is always a char type.
