Best way to initialize variable from Scripted Data Set

petr.mensk

Hello, I have three incoming context parameters - List, Date and Date. So in open event of data set I do something like this

iterator = taskReportList.iterator();
fromDate = dateFrom;
toDate = dateTo;
//or save somewhere the date values?

and in fetch event I iterate through the list items

if(iterator.hasNext()) {
var taskReport = iterator.next();
//blablabla
return true;
} else {
//save somewhere the date values
//vars["fromDate"] = fromDate or array[0] = fromDate?
return false;
}

The thing is, I need to display these two values in the report and I don't know how. I tried to create two report variables but I get always null when the values are displayed (both in Data and Dynamic Text element). I also tried to create array for the dates in initialize event of report and then just access it in element(again, both Data and Dynamic Text) but I am getting null too. But when I debug the report, both array and report variable seems to have correct value during fetch event. So can anybody please tell what is going on?

Set the variables as PersistentGlobalVariable<br />
<br />
beforeFactory():<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("globalVarName", /*some data/*);
</pre>
<br />
beforeRender():<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
reportContext.getDesignHandle().getElementByID(27).text = reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("globalVar");
</pre>
