  • 0

I want to calculate a string once (basicaly a concatenation) in a variable using the result of my report’s query and then submit it to my subreports.

But for the moment it’s calculated in this order (let say operation A is my variable calculation and operation B is my subreport’s call) :

A B A B A B …

And what I’m looking for is A A A … B B B (here every Bs have in parameter the last calculation of A).

Is there a solution which solve my problem like this (I guess it’s a calculation time problem) ?

Thanks.

    To change when a variable is calculated, you can use the resetType and incrementType attributes.

    If you want it to only be calculated once (at the beginning of the report), set incrementType="Report". You will also have to change the variableExpression to an initialValueExpression.

    Example:

    <variable name="var1" class="java.lang.String" incrementType="Report">
    <initialValueExpression><![CDATA[$F{foo}+$F{bar}]]></initialValueExpression>
</variable>
