Accessing Main Report Parameter in SubReport

rbuser

Using RB Ent 10.07. In an OnGetText event in a subreport, I want to be able
to access the main report's parameters. In the main report, I would do:

Report.Parameters['param1']

But trying this in the subreport gives me an error "Expected '(' or '[', but
found 'Parameters' instead"

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

For future reference, please post RAP questions to the RAP newsgroup. This
helps us and others understand the issue better and provide a quick and
accurate answer.

The reason you are getting an error is that the subreport (TppChildReport)
object does not have a Parameters property. In order to access any main
report properties or values from a subreport in RAP, you will need to use
Global Variables. Creating a global variable for each passed parameter or
perhaps using a single TStringList to hold the parameters will give you
access to these values when coding inside the subreport.
