Showing Current Group Value in MasterPage Without Page Variables

mwilliams

This example shows how you can use persistent global variables to store the current group value in the onCreate of your table row, and then display this value in a dynamic textbox, in the masterpage, using onRender script. This task was made easier with the introduction of Page Variables and the Variable auto-text for the masterpage in 2.5+, but for those using versions prior to 2.5, this is probably the way to go.<br />

This report was designed in BIRT 2.3.2, but the concept probably works in all versions.<br />

Note: This only works when using the run and render tasks separately. So, run in the web viewer, then export to PDF.
