Changing the Default Date Range in a Report Screen (ZPSQL & ZP32)

A customer asked if it possible to change the default 30 day date range in a report screen. Using a script you can set the From date to any value you wish. Using the Rental Report Screen as an example the script would be:

rentrep.txtStartdate.value = DATE() - 60

Where the 60 value determines how many days back the range goes. This value is 30 by default but you can reset it using this script to any value you want. This approach should work for any report screen.

Set A Default Date Type in Rental Reports Screen (ZPSQL & ZP32)

By default no date field is set when you enter the Rental Report Screen. You can use a script to change this. A customer just requested a way to make the Enter Date the default date field. To do this you start a new script in the User Defined Scripts Screen using "Housing" as the Module, "RentRep" as the Screen and "Screen" as the Action. The script itself would be:

rentrep.date_type="ent_date"
rentrep.cmbUsedate.value = "Enter Date"

Now when you first enter the Rental Report Screen the Enter Date will be shown as the default date type.
