Jasper Reports - Add one day to a Date Parameter - jasper-reports

Question

I'm creating a Jasper report that includes the following parameters:
DATESTART (Date)
DATEEND (Date)
These parameters indicate a date range for a field called DATECREATED (Timestamp) which includes times. I would like the date range to be INCLUSIVE, that is, if I filter for "Jan 1, 2009" to "Jan 31, 2009", any DATECREATED value on Jan 31, 2009 (such as "Jan 31, 2009 15:00") will be included in the report.
When I used Crystal Reports in the past, I used the DATEADD function to create a filter expression like the following:
{DATECREATED} >= {DATESTART} and {DATECREATED} < DATEADD("d", 1, {DATEEND})
(I realize that this isn't syntactically correct, but you get the idea.)
Is there any way to do something similar in Jasper Reports?

Answer 1

If you understand French, there the same question is asked in this thread
(the only difference is that it is about adding a month)
The proposed solutions are following:
SQL
Do it with SQL statement directly in the query (if your data source is a SQL datasource of course).
With MySQL you can do something like
DATE_ADD($P{DATEEND},INTERVAL 1 DAY);
more information: Date and Time Functions (MySQL doc)
JAVA
The other solution is to use the Java possibly of the Date object:
I proposed something like :
$P{DATEEND}.setDay($P{DATEEND}.getDay()+1)
But I did not try it (and it is probably wrong).
Maybe you need to defined a new Date Variable DATEEND_1
with a value expression like :
new Date($P{DATEEND}.getTime() + 24*60*60*1000)
or
new java.util.Date($P{DATEEND}.getTime() + 24*60*60*1000)
And use this new variable in your query V{DATEEND_1}.
(again I am not sure of it)

Answer 2

Try this:
new java.util.Date($P{DATEEND}.getTime() + 24*60*60*1000)

Answer 3

Another option is to use the Groovy SDK that comes bundled with the latest versions.
new Date().plus(1) //Today plus one day = tomorrow.
Or to be more complete - add your two parameters DATESTART and DATEEND and set the default expression to be the above code. Then in your query add the following to the where clause:
DATECREATED >= $P{DATESTART} and DATECREATED < $P{DATEEND}
or depending on your SQL variant.
DATECREATED BETWEEN $P{DATESTART} AND $P{DATEEND}

Answer 4

Suppose you have a Parameter PARAM1 and you want to add 366 days to param1 then you can do it by following way
1) Declare another parameter say $P{finalDate}
2) Code like below for $P{finalDate} as the Default Value Expression
new Date($F{PARAM1}.getTime() + 366L*24*60*60*1000)
Dont forget to put L after 366 . Without putting L , it may not work properly and may not give accurate date.
It will add 366 days to PARAM1

Answer 5

We have built a library of static date-related functions, which can be used like this:
DateUtil.add(NOW(), 0, 0, 1)
The above would get you a date one day into the future (the arguments are year, month, day). It would be nice to have a DATE_ADD function supported directly by JasperReports. Sounds like a patch waiting to be submitted.

Answer 6

DAYSINMONTH($P{Date}) >= (DAY($P{Date})+ 1)
?
DATE(YEAR($P{Date}),MONTH($P{Date}),DAY($P{Date})+1)
:
((MONTH($P{Date}) + 1) > 12) ? DATE(YEAR($P{Date}) + 1,1,1) : DATE(YEAR($P{Date}),MONTH($P{Date}) +1 ,1)
I am sorry for necro'ing this post but I thought that I should share this as another alternative to the options posted above. You just need to change all the $P{Date} to be your parameter!

Answer 7

You can create a class to help you, which has a static method which processes your parameters (or modify class JasperUtils by adding a static method). This way you can have amethod returning a boolean which will act exactly as the filter you need.
package com.package_name.utils;
public class JasperUtils2 {
public static Boolean filterDate(Date dateStart, Date dateEnd, Date dateCreated) {
if (dateCreated.compareTo(dateStart) < 0) return false; // dateCreated is greater or
// equal to dateStart
if (dateCreated.compareTo(dateEnd) > 0) return false; // dateCreated is smaller or
// equal to dateEnd
// you can combine the two conditions into one. I wrote it like this to be more obvious
}
}
To use this method, you need to import the class created (Edit -> Report import directives -> new import ---- this may differ for different versions of iReport). Then, you can use the method in static way:
JasperUtils2.filterDate(..., ..., ...)
