Expanding Code Value

rbuser

I have a group field in a report that is a one-character code, with only
2 possible values. I'd like to expand that in the group footer to
display a short string. I'm working in Delphi 6. The report is sorting
properly and displaying the code okay. I tried adding a variable with an
oncalc event with some "IF" logic, then bookmarked it in the delphi
debugger, but it never stops on that. I suspect I'm not referencing the
data properly, but I can't figure what to do. The data comes from
Interbase through a ClientDataSet through a DBPipeline.

In the variable's OnCalc event handler, reference the data field directly
from the pipeline:

lValue := ppReport1.DataPipeline['myFieldName'];
