Problems Using GlobalVars in Report - Really important and urgent : (

smgomes

Hi,

in script report at initiliaze method i had :

reportContext.setGlobalVariable("total",0);

My report contains a Table grouping by article code.

In GroupHeader i had two labels, one to show the Article code (Label#1) and another to show Article description (Label #2).

In Label#1 in Visibility (fx) i had this code:

false;
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("total",0);

For each Group i want the total variable reset to 0. and it works fine.

In my Table Details i had 3 columns:

Column#1 : Number of Article's IN
Column#2 : Number of Article's OUT
Column#3 : Acumulator (Data component)

Example:

row#1: In:0 Out: 3 Acumulator: -3
row#2: In:0 Out: 5 Acumulator: -5
row#3: In:4 Out: 0 Acumulator: -1

Acumulator is a Data Component in fx i had this:

var temp1 = dataSetRow["in"] - dataSetRow["out"];
var temp2 = parseFloat(reportContext.getGlobalVariable("total") + temp1);
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("total", temp2);
//show the actual value of total
reportContext.getGlobalVariable("total");

My problem is:

Acumulator always show -3 as value!! Why ? Can u help me solve this problem? Or give me another way to do this report.

Thanks.

Hi smgomes,

Can you recreate this issue with the sample database or with a flat file database with your own sample data? I don't see the same the way I set it up. Are you using 2.3.0 or 2.3.something else?
