Using numeric values from a data set in a global Variable

lenburt

Hello out there --

I am trying to accumulate numeric values across data sets with the intent of computing a total at the bottom of my document. The statement below seem to expect a string as the second argument (as opposed to a numeric value from a data set).

Is there a simple solution?


reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("totalDelinqAmt",row.TOTAL_DELINQ_AMT);

regards, len

Try:

reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("totalDelinqAmt",new Number(row.TOTAL_DELINQ_AMT));


Either that, or you could just make it into a string:

reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("totalDelinqAmt",row.TOTAL_DELINQ_AMT.toString());

then, parse it back to a float when you retrieve it:

parseFloat(reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("totalDelinqAmt"));
