I am converting a report from 6.5++ to 9.1 (Build 9.1.5.20317)
My report variables don't seem to be working as they did in 6.5.
The report was summing the regular hours worked by employee
(social security number).
The Report variable I am having trouble with is defined as:
REAL : D : r1a = sum of reg1
reg1 is the table column containing hours worked.
I have a break (Break Footer[0]: ssn) by social security number.
The issue is, the variable r1a displays summed correctly for the first
row of the report.
But subsequent rows in the report, it is displayed as a null value -0-.
Dale,
Make sure that the variable is calculated for the correct band of the
report, i.e. Break Footer [0].
Here's how:
01. While in Report Designer ...
Main Menu | Variables | Add/Edit Variables ...
02. Highlight the RLA variable and then select F0 from the list of
available options under Calculate On:
Click on [Change] button to change.
Click on [Apply] button to apply all changes.
03. Save the report.
While converting and migrating from 6.5++ to 9.1, you should take
advantage of "DB Calc" options in Report.
For a sample report to illustrate the difference, take a close look
at the "SubTotalsAndTotals" report included with the sample RRBYW17
database and sample application.
Good luck!
Very Best R:egards,
