Hi Monks,

Iam trying to Convert a Visual Basic piece of Code into PERL. The Code connects to Crystal Report and Passes some parameters and runs it and saves it as a excel file. The code works great in Visual BAsic. It works fine in PERL too.The Excel file is created but there seems to be no Data in it. Iam puzzled. I think the problem is in the Way Iam passing values to the parameters.

In Visual BAsic the code for assigning values looks like this.

oParameterField.AddCurrentValue (CDate("01/31/03"))

In Perl the code I have for assigning values is:

$oParameterField->AddCurrentValue("01/31/03") ;

Is there something Iam doing wrong ??

ANy Help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Harish

$oParameterField->AddCurrentValue("01/31/03")
