Using global variable in master page footer

new_user

Dear Friends,

I'm new to BIRT report tool. I wanted to ask question about how to use global variable in master page footer.
In my report, in table details, onCreate method, i had the following code:
countOfRows++;
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("global_count", ""+countOfRows);

then, in master page footer (a label), i wanted to retrieve this variable:
temp = parseInt(reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("global_count"));

if(pageNumber<totalPage){
this.getStyle().display ="none"
}
if(temp == 0){
this.getStyle().display ="none"
}

but i could not get the correct value in master page footer.

Thanks in advance.

What value are you getting in the master page? Have you tried using a page variable, rather than a pgv?
