get values from datasource in initialize step

Hi everyone, 
 
I'm trying to get the dataset values in initialize event/step with: 
 
 
dataHandle = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.findDataSet( "ColumnDataSet" ); 
if(dataHandle==null) { 
throw new RuntimeException("DataSet with name ds doesn't exist in report") 
} 
 
iter = dataHandle.resultSetIterator(); 
rsc = iter.next(); 
 
 
--- 
 
I don't know how the get the actual values

from this dataset.

The dataSet data is not available in the initialize method. What are you trying to do, exactly? Maybe I can suggest something to help.

Hi Michael,

I'm new to BIRT reporting tool and I tried to implement a report with dynamic columns, making use of datasource instead of parameters for defining comma separated column names. But at some point a colleague of mine told me about the Cross Tab component

thank you for the quick reply,

regards,

Adrian
