Cognos Analytics Upgrade - Replace NOT working with Parameter

29 Views Asked by At

Actually, I am upgrading a Cognos 10.2.2 server (compatibility mode) to Cognos 12.0.1 (Dynamic Query mode). There was a report working with a data item as:

Text Prompt: Prompt Name: ?pFromDate? Data item: replace(?pFromDate?,',','') Database: SQL Server 2019 Windows 2022

However, the new Cognos 12.0.1 returns error REPLACE is not supported.
"XQE-PLN-0098 The vendor specific function "replace" is not supported "

IBM Support suggested REPLACE is only for data item. Is it possible to do something like REPLACE in this case by Cognos internal function? I have tested REPLACE and TRANSLATE with the same error message.

There are something tried as below:

  1. Try to convert all parameter into 1 datatype
  2. try REPLACE / TRANSLATE
  3. try to add data item to host ?pFromDate? and replace([dummy_query].[FromDate_DataItem],',','')

For item 2 and 3, it is returning the XQE-PLN-0098 error.
