Since I don't know how to access what I need using the GUI ReportDesigner,
I decided to try to figure out the rfxml file itself. After looking through
the wiki and other site pages, I still am stumbling around.
Toward writing the report formats I need, I'll try to ask specific
questions. First one involves this code from the demo's invoice.rfxml (which
is what I'll use as a template for understanding):
<variables>
<Variable>
<expr>self.clientBalance + self.Record["amount"]</expr>
<initialValue>decimal.Decimal('0.00')</initialValue>
<name>clientBalance</name>
<resetAt>self.Record['clientid']</resetAt>
</Variable>
<Variable>
<expr>self.Variables['timeCodeBalance'] +
self.Record['amount']</expr>
<initialValue>decimal.Decimal('0.00')</initialValue>
<name>timeCodeBalance</name>
<resetAt>"%s-%s" % (self.Record['clientid'],
self.Record['timecodeid'])</resetAt>
</Variable>
Are 'self.clientBalance,' and 'timeCodeBalance' methods/functions in the
application, while 'self.Record[]' is the Dict_cursor supplying the specific
data?
As I look at invoice.rfxml, I get the impression that the Variables group
represents the details printed for each record in the database/Dict_cursor.
Is that correct?
