I'm having fun designing a new report in 7.5 which contains a sub-report as follows:
Label: stop | Variable Label: Concatenated fields TO and SHIPPER Db memo: DESCRIPTION All on one line. When there is data, this is what is printed: Stop | LAFAYETTE - SMITH INDUSTRIES 3 BOXES OF TOOLS Many times, however, the stop doesn't have a description and when that happens, I want to suppress printing the whole line. After carefully studying RRBYW10 EepsInReportBands, I have: Put the three objects of my sub-report on region3 (visible checked) and (1) given it a component id of region3, and (2) given a component id to DESCRIPTION of stopdesc. Now, on a "before generate" eep in the detail band, I want to test the value in DESCRIPTION: GETPROPERTY stopdesc TEXTVALUE 'vstopdesc' IF vstopdesc IS NULL THEN PROPERTY region3 VISIBLE FALSE ENDIF RETURN Unfortunately, it suppresses the line even when there is a value for DESCRIPTION... I find no documentation of GETPROPERTY command in reports... TIA, Claudine :)
