Variable

raadwiptec — Mon, 08 Nov 2021 20:47:20 GMT

LET vReportDate = date(makedate(2021,9,30),'YYYYMMDD');

in my Load Script .. I have

Load ,

YDate,

from ....qvd(qvd) where YDate<$(vReportDate)

is there a way to control this vReportDate from front end?

when a variable is defined in the script, it will behave just like any variable in the UI. you can change the content using a button for example. or using any object with an action. maybe you can explain further what problem you are experiencing

As stated by @edwin , you could modify this variable from the front end, but what good would it do? Your Let statement would reset it every time you run the script.

It sounds like what you're trying to do would be better served by creating an ODAG app.

i do see the use case where you would want to modify the variable in the app - maybe for defaults which SHOULD reset when reloaded
