var missing last value

rbuser

I have a tppVar in a summary band of a report with 2 subreports. The var is
calculated in the oncalc event of one of the subreports vars:

procedure TReptSF.ppVarMTCostCalc(Sender: TObject; var Value: Variant);
begin
Value := Value + dm.ATRpAdCostTotCost.Value;
pplMCost.Caption := formatFloat('##,###,##0.00',Value);
ppVarTotalCost.Value := ppVarTotalCost.Value + dm.ATRpAdCostTotCost.Value;
end;

It calculates correctly upto the last subreport - the value is correct
except for the last section. This seemed to have worked in 7.0. I just
upgraded to 9.02. I am using Delphi 6.

Thanks,

Matt

if you can put together a small demo and send it to them.

It is a very big report, there is no way to "put together a small demo".

Is there noone else who had a problem like this?

Thank you,

I downloaded the patch, copied it to the c:\program
files\borland\delphi6\Rbuilder\Lib, renamed the existing ppvar.dcu and
recompiled the project . It created a ppvar.dcu dated today. I am still
getting the same results - the total on the summary is does not include the
final group. Please help. This is a project in production and my client
needs this report.

Thank you,

Hi Matt,

I apoligise for the mistake, this must be a different issue however we have
not had any reports of this behavior nor am I able to recreate it myself
with RB 9.02. If you trace into the OnCalc event, is the code even firing
for the last subreport? Perhaps a better explaination of how your report is
designed will help me understand what is happening. If this is a bug in
ReportBuilder, I will need to recreate this bahavior on my machine. If
possible please construct a simple application (perhaps using the DBDEMOS
database) that demonstrates the behavior you are experiencing and send it in
.zip format to support@digital-metaphors.com.

Nico,

I have tried to recreate this problem using dbdemos but the report has many
details in it. However, when I look at the Tutorials Complete applications
demo Report Launcher "interactive previewing with drill-down subreports",
your totals also have a problem.

I do not know if this is related but as I also have a drill down component I
would like you to look at this. Take any order and drill down. You will
see that the first line item is not included in the detail total

i.e. Kauai Dive Shoppe, Cust 1221 order 1023 shows on the summary a total of
$4674.00. If you drill down, the first item of $1250 is not in the total in
the details which shows 3,424.00. This is consistant throughout this demo.

Thank you for looking into this.

I believe I found my solution. Apparently the timing for the calculations
in the summary were set to traverse instead of ReportEnd. Once I set this
they included the last group.

Thank you,
Matt
