Description FC Bester CLA 2010-08-03 09:28:00 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100617-1415

I have a parameter called "startdate" in custom Date format "yyyyMMdd". The browser the passes on ex "1 Dec 2010" as "20101201" to the report. BIRT reportviewer bombs out saying "20101201" is not a valid Date. If i modify the query string to "201-012-01" it works 100%. even thou its formatted "yyyyMMdd" in the report.

Reproducible: Always

Im also use the 2.6.0 build and it works when u enter the params on the screen. its when it has to read them from the browser string that u get the error. hope the screen shots help.

I have the same issue with 3.7.0. I tried to debug it but the parameters dialog shows before the debugger is started, so the break point in org.eclipse.birt.report.utility.DataUtil.validate(String, String, String, Locale, TimeZone, boolean) is never reached.

My guess is that the validate method never sees the custom format. If you enter the date in one of the formats of your default/current locale, it's accepted. The problem only happens when you set a custom format in "Format as" in the "Display As" part of the "Edit Parameter" dialog.
