Re: Questions about reports
I agree that these types of Account queries would be useful -- it would be useful to me, too ;) I may get to it some day, or I may just hard-code 'income' and 'expense' types into my work. If you're interested, patches would be accepted ;) -derek Martijn van Oosterhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > On Fri, Feb 22, 2002 at 05:54:44PM -0500, Derek Atkins wrote: > > Christian Stimming <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: > > > > > And anyway, new account types don't get added that often (IIRC > > > none during the last 3 years), so you wouldn't need to worry too > > > much about that. > > > > Actually, this is false..

I added Accounts-Payable and > Accounts-Receivable account-types in CVS. This is exactly the problem. Perhaps there should be a account-get-base-type which returns one of asset, liability, income, expense or equity. Or predicates (like account-is-asset?). Instead of each report trying to work it out for themselves. There already are account-is-stock?, account-has-shares? and account-is-inc-exp?. -- Martijn van Oosterhout <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://svana.org/kleptog/ > If the company that invents a cure for AIDS is expected to make their > money back in 17 years, why can't we ask the same of the company that > markets big-titted lip-syncing chicks and goddamn cartoon mice? ___ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel

All the other existing account types in Gnucash besides income and expense actually are neither income nor expense accounts. The other account types are all some variant of an asset or liability (or equity) account. So by testing (member '(income expense)) you should be on the safe side. And anyway, new account types don't get added that often (IIRC none during the last 3 years), so you wouldn't need to worry too much about that.
