How to Pass Timestamp Value From One Page to Another
From a report column link, I need to pass a DATE (which includes the time) form one page to another. If I use the basic Name/Value pairs under the Column Link section, the URL cuts off when it encounters the colon. For example, "2012-05-08 16:38" comes over as "2012-05-08 16"
Moreover, any item values passed after the colon in the DATE value are removed from the URL.
I know why this is happening. It is because oracle sees the ":" and assumes this is a field terminator.
How can I work around this? I have seen post suggesting the URL_ENCODE API but, I can see anyone to invoke this, or any other code, from the Column Link section. I have also seen some folks suggest that it be done as a conditional branch. Simularly, I can;t find anyway to invoke the Branch from the Column Link section.
There must be some way to pass this value and I can't be the first person to ever attempt this. I am totally stuck and have spend hours on this one issue.
Thanks,
