CHAPTER 10  MANAGING REPORTS

Figure 10-6. RDL file edited in Notepad

To update the report to include the default parameter values that you created in the previous

section, you can place RDL code directly in the file and save it. The section of the RDL that generates the

default values for each parameter is only five lines long, as you can see in Listing 10-1, which shows the

default value section for the AcctPeriodYear parameter.

Listing 10-1. RDL Default Value Section

<DefaultValue>

<Values>

<Value>=DATEPART("yyyy", TODAY())</Value>

</Values>

</DefaultValue>

Figure 10-7 shows the RDL file after the default value code was inserted for both parameters.
