COGNOS 10.2: Auto-Submit only works by running the report out of report studio

Question

Hello i am facing following problem.

I am have an report with a prompt page that contains three dates prompts. For each of these prompts I have added a JavaScript-Element so that a specific value is always selected. For this i have used following code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var fW = (typeof getFormWarpRequest == "function" ? getFormWarpRequest(): document.forms["formWarpRequest"]);
if(fW)
{
if(fW._oLstChoices1.length >= 1)
{
fW._oLstChoices1.selectedIndex = 18;
}
}
</script>

At the end i have a seperate list-prompt filled with static values, that runs the report automatically:

<script>
    var form = getFormWarpRequest();
    var list = form._oLstChoicesdummy;
    list.selectedIndex = 0;
    canSubmitPrompt();
    setTimeout('oCVRS.promptAction(\'finish\')', 0); 

</script>

When I open the report in Report Studio and click on "RUN", the report is executed automatically. But if I run the report outside of Report Studio, the prompt mask appears again and I have to click on "Finish/Run".

Has anyone faced silimiar problems and knows how to solve it?

Thanks in advance

If anyone else should face the same problem you can use the following code that will autosubmit the prompt page:

    <script type="text/javascript"> 

//get the form request 
var fW = (typeof getFormWarpRequest == "function" ? getFormWarpRequest() : document.forms["formWarpRequest"]); 

if (fW) 
{ 
  // if the report is running from reportStudio or the Portal objects are different 
  if (fW.elements["cv.id"].value == "RS") 
  { 
     setTimeout('oCVRS.promptAction(\'next\')', 1000); 
  }else{ 
    setTimeout('oCV_NS_.promptAction(\'next\')', 1000); 
  } 
} 
</script>
