Date Parameter in iReport

2004-11-09 06:00

friends,

 

i m using iReport for designing reports for open reports. Passing parameters through open reports.

I am able to receive the parameters in iReports

for datatype like int,double,string etc..

 

I can manipulate these parametes as follows:

eg:- for integer parameter

$P{emp_id}.intValue()

for double parameter

$P{price}.doubleValue()

 

but the problem comes when a date parameter is passed through open reports

 

i didnt find any method to get the date value.

 

is there any method like $P{date}.dateValue() ?

 

please give a solution ...

 

with regards

 

ram

you can use the SimpleDateFormat class to do date formatting, for example like this:

 

new SimpleDateFormat("dd.MM.yyyy")).format($F{yourDate})

 

if you get the date as a String, you probably need to call the parse function to get a java.util.Date first.
