If you are launching Revelation Reporter from OpenInsight and you are passing a date in the command selection parameter,  you might have problems with the command line being truncated if you use slashes or dashes in the date (for example,  05/30/97 or 05-30-97). To avoid this problem you should use the European date format (i.e.: 05.30.97) so the command line would read:

 

Retval = Utility ("RUNWIN" , "REPORTER.EXE /AP=Application /UN=Username /RP=CUSTINFO.RPT /QU=1 /PV=1 /SEL=WITH DATE_REGISTERED LE '05.28.97' /SELTYPE=revelationbasic")

 

This will allow the command line to be correctly interpreted.
