Hi,

You can adapt the attached example to suit your needs. Look at the different methods overridden at the report level.

Hope this helps,

Thank you so much for the reply, it helps.

Now is there a way that I can load the saved parameter values from the text file into the parameter(parameter console).

Thank you,

To save the parameter values to a text file works from the script, but can I make it work when clicked on a button?

Hi,

The example I sent you is designed to work from the server side. The script in the initialize method makes use of the Java IO package, which is not available if you run the script from the client side.
If you want to execute the script from the client side from an HTML button, and still write the log file to the server, you will be better off writing a server-side servlet that will be called from the client side, but will write the file to the server. When calling the servlet, you could pass the report parameter value as a servlet parameter.
If you want to execute the script from the client side and still write the log file on the client machine, you will have to find another way than Java Io to write to the client.

Hi,

I can create the text file when clicked on a button using the code as below:

<head>
<script language="javascript">
function WriteToFile(){
var fso = new ActiveXObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject");
var s = fso.CreateTextFile("C:\\Test.txt", true);
s.WriteLine(params["Author#1"]);
s.Close();
}</script>
<input type="button" value="Save" onclick="WriteToFile()"

But I cannot write the value of the parameter author#1 to the file.

Is the syntax "s.WriteLine(params["Author#1"])" correct?

Thank you.

In a text item, the correct syntax to get the value of a parameter is:

s.WriteLine("<VALUE-OF>params["Author#1"].value</VALUE-OF>");

Hello guys, 
 
I need your help. I would like to save the information of a JavaScript Variable "output" as text file. For this I use following scripts: 
 
On Scripts - Report Design - intialize I set my variable output: 
(reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("output","sample text"); 
 
On Scripts - Report Design - after Render I set my log file: 
importPackage(Packages.java.io); 
var log = new FileWriter("c:\\" + params["Datei"] + ".p", true); 
log.write(output); 
log.flush(); 
reportContext.setGlobalVariable("logWriter", log); 
 
 
but If I run the report with the Browser the log file will be created and the file contains "sample text" but not the text from variable "output". 
 
So I guess, I have to set the script for the log file on another position in the report, because I think the variable "output" is not generated or is already deleted. 
 
please give me your ideas. 
 
P.S. (If I run the report via designer then the log file contains the information of the variable "output" 
 
see also atached file. (at the time there is a uploed failure) 
 
best regards
