Transfer of parameters in Axiant reports/qtp-runs

Expression support for choose was added to Quiz & QTP in 7.10.E (VMS).
It's not documented as VMS-specific, and is listed as available (without
qualification) on VMS, MPEix 7.29 & Unix 7.33.
I'd presume it's all in the common code version (8.30+...) ?
The syntax, in particular the parentheses, is a bit picky, and hasn't yet
made it to my documentation, but it's there & it works.

Eg.

choose date-created ((date(-7,sysdate)) to 99991231)
