adding the result of a subreport value to main page.

rbuser · September 2006

I have a sub report (subreport1.windowinfo) on my first page of the report
(main:customer)

The subreport1 has a variable field (variable11) that gives a vaule based on
a sum amount.

I want to be able to display the value of this variable11 on the
main:customer page.

How would i type this to add it to main:customer page. Would i need a new
varialbe that returns this amount, if so what is the syntax for this?

Thanks
Stuart

Hi Stuart,

Are you using RAP? If so, you will need to create a global variable in the
main report and set it equal to a TppVariable in the main report's design.
Then in the OnCalc of the variable11 in the subreport, you would also update
the value of the global variable. Take a look at the following example...

If you are not using RAP, you can simply place a Variable in the main report
and update its value in the OnCalc of the variable in the subreport
directly.

Hi Nico.

I have tried using RAP in D6 and RBE10.04 due to your advice and have found
a problem.
If a report contains more than one page the global variable gets more value
than needed.
Check it please.
I will try to create a test project if you coudn't reproduce that
situation.

Hi Sergey,

In my testing with the example I posted in my previous post, the calculation
was correct for the grand total. How is your application different? If you
would like to send a simple example, please send it in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it for you.
