Search criteria on variables

rbuser

Hi,

Is it possible to add search criteria's on variables created in the
code? That are not directly associated to a database field?

Example, I have a report that gets a lot of data and statistics, with
subreports updating totals, and in the end, I only want to show the
totals that are bigger than 50.
I can use a Variable to set the "50" in, and compare is through the
report. But I want this "50" to actually be entered by the user, and
then assign it to my variable.

Is this possible?

I've used a "dummy" pipeline to set the value to a not used field from
another table, but this is not always possible.

Thanks for your help,

Chantal M.

With RB 11 you can define Report.Parameters and configure the
Parameters.AutoSearchSettings.

Wtih prior versions you can define Report.Parameters, but there is no
autosearch support.
