Syntax for a list param
What is the proper way to send a list as a parameter to OpenRPT Renderer:
-param=some_id:list[1,2,3] ????
I can't seem to find much documentation on this, maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
Thanks,
Shawn

Anyone??
Shawn,
From C++ you should be able to create a QVariantList of values and assign it to the parameter, something like:
QVariantList alist;
alist.append(QVariant("zeroth"));
alist.append(QVariant("first"));
ParameterList params;
params.append("list1", alist);
From JavaScript you should be able to create an array and assign it to the parameter, something like:
var params = new Object(); params.list1 = new Array(); params.list1[0] = "zeroth"; params.list1[1] = "first"; // or params.list2 = [ 0, 1 ];
The Qt docs on converting between script and C++ types might be helpful.

Gil,
I was actually looking for an example of a list parameter through a command line run time switch. I guess I should have been more clear in my original post. Although I'm sure I'll use your examples somewhere :-). I'm trying to send a list parameter to a report through PHP if that helps.
Is it something like:
/path/to/openrpt/rptrender -databaseURL=psql://localhost/mydb:5666 -param=some_id:list[1,2,3]
Thanks,
Shawn
Passing a list to the report renderer on the command line? That explains the odd syntax in your initial post :-) There doesn't appear to be any code in the command line parser to do this.
Please enter an issue. This is an interesting hole in functionality.

In case anyone needs it here is how you send a list of integers (thanks cryan):
-param=some_id:QVariantList=int:0,int:1,int:2,int:3
