Re: selecting the current date

You have 2 options,

1) Create new formula, lets say CurDateNum and place below formula to convert current Date to Number

tonumber(totext(currentdate,'yyyyMMdd'))

Then in Report Filter put condition

@CurDateNum = {WOC_REASON.OTTRND}

Or

2) Create a new formula, lets say DateOTTRND and place below formula to convert OTTRND to Date

Date(Mid (CStr ({WOC_REASON.OTTRND}),6 ,1 )&  Mid (CStr ({WOC_REASON.OTTRND}),8 ,1 )&

"/" &

Mid (CStr ({WOC_REASON.OTTRND}),9 ,2 ) &

"/" &

Mid (CStr ({WOC_REASON.OTTRND}),1 ,2 )&  Mid (CStr ({WOC_REASON.OTTRND}),4 ,2 )

)

Then in Report filter place condition

@DateOTTRND = CurrentDate

Note:

-> Your formula looks correct except, you didn't converted from string to Date

3) Like to add one more Formula to convert from number to Date (we use most of our CR reports based on Number as Date field)

Date ( Val (ToText ({WOC_REASON.OTTRND}, 0 , "") [1 to 4]),

        Val (ToText ({WOC_REASON.OTTRND}, 0 , "") [5 to 6]),

        Val (ToText ({WOC_REASON.OTTRND}, 0 , "") [7 to 8]) )
