PM90679: COGNOS PROMPT API - TREE PROMPT ISSUES - SETVALUES() AND GETVALUES(TRUE)

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer is using the new Prompt API with a tree control.  They
  need to use setValues() to add specific values to a control and
  it does not work properly. setValues() rather picks all selected
  values instead of specific ones.??getValues(true) does not work
  with Tree Control.  Documentation refers to the parameter of
  getValues() method being applicable only to value prompts.
  Customer is wondering how they can retrieve all control values
  of a Tree prompt.  Is it possible with getValues()?  If not, is
  there any other way to get all the prompt values ignoring user
  selection.
