Report Parameter displayText

leeysh

Hi,
I'm using BIRT 2.3.2. I have a report which has a parameter valuelist lookup defined in MAXIMO. I want to display the description of the selected parameter at the Master Page Header. I tried

1) using params["Name"].displayText, but it returns me null. I believe it's because when I select via the lookup, it returns the equal sign "=Selection". I would like to know is there any ways to display?

2) Tried (params["Name"].substring(1)).displayText but not successful.

3) Tried Dynamic Text, and script in onCreate and onRender.
OnCreate, set the parameter display text reportContext.setParameterDisplayText("Name1","Description of Name").
OnRender, reportContext.getParameterDisplayText("Name1"). But this method is not successful either.

Appreciate any help and suggestion!

Thank you in advance!

If I recall correctly in BIRT 2.3.2 params["Name"].displayText is not available. Only params["Name"].value works.

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.

I'll add on some clarification to my previous post. I've tried removing the "=" when I input the parameter and params["Name"].displayText works fine.

Currently, I'll like to know whether there's ways to remove the "=" sign for the parameter apart from user manually removing it? I'm looking for alternative than hard-coding the description into the Dynamic Text.

Thanks!

Maximo must be passing the '=' sign as BIRT alone does not.

leeysh

Yup, MAXIMO is passing the "=" to BIRT, no doubt on that. I just want to know if BIRT has features to remove the passed in "=", apart from hard-coding in the rptdesign?

Thanks!

You can use the validate event on the parameter to check for it.

Try the following as an example
and po.siteid = '" + params["site"].replace(/[=!,]/,"")+ "'"

The following sample works well for me: 
var site = new String(); 
site = params["site"].value.replace(/=/g, "");

I use the syntax 
 
params["site"].replace("=", "") 
 
for another alternative which also seems to work well
