a report that uses this parameter for record selection will display all
records with values between 5 and 10. This also works for string
parameter fields. With a start value of "A" and an end value of "E", a
report that uses this parameter for record selection will display all
records within an alphabetical range of A-E.
Note:
If the "Allow multiple values" and the "Allow discrete values" options are
selected, the parameter field will accept multiple single values. In this
case, you can enter more than one value, but these values will be
evaluated individually and will not be interpreted as a range. If the "Allow
multiple values" and "Allow range values" options are selected, the
parameter field will accept multiple ranges.
2. If applicable, select the Min Length and/or Max Length options to

• For a Date, DateTime, or Time parameter field, options for entering
the "Start" and "End" values appear.
