How do I put generic code in a library

Hello.

I have 5 reports that uses repeating JavaScript logic. How do I put this logic in a library?
If not possible, are there other ways of putting generic JavaScript logic so that reports may use it?

Thank you in advance.

You can add a javascript file to any report or library. Just create a new .js file and add your generic functions to that file. Once you added that js file to your report or library you can simply call declared functions in your report.
See: http://www.lebirtexpert.com/wordpress/2010/08/03/javascript-functions-lib/
for a tutorial.

Thank you very much, cbrell.

Regretfully, I couldn't use that method as the resources tab for rptlibrary contains no enabled areas.
Any guess why please?

I am sorry.
I managed to add .js file to the resources tab but the functions defined cannot be found.

Can you post a sample report with js file?
Where did you try to call the function?
