ppVariable problem

rbuser

RB 9.02 Ent
D7 Ent

I have 4 variables:
one on the detail band - CalcType=veTraversal, ResetType=veTaversal
one on 2 different group bands - CalcType=veTraversal,
ResetType=veGroupEnd
One on the summary - CalcType=veTraversal, ResetType=veReportEnd

In the OnCalc Event I do my calculations and add the results together.
I use the same OnCalc Routine for all variables since they all do the
same thing.

I also have an OnFormat Event that is connected to all 4 variables that
will format the text based on the Value passed in.

The 2 variables on the groups and the one on the summary work perfectly.
The problem is with the one on the detail band. It seems to reset
itself before it reaches the OnFormat event because the value passed in
is 0.

I'm pretty sure I'm just missing something but I can't seem to find
what it is.

Hi Rick,

Using a Calc on Traversal and Reset on Traversal combo with a Variable
inside the detail band will probably not give you the effect you are after.
This combination should only give you 0's or blank text. For a Variable
inside the detail band, I would suggest leaving the Reset option to
ReportEnd and handling all updates of the Value property to the event code
inside the OnCalc event. Since this code will be firing every traversal
anyway, there is no need to reset the variable as well.

Be careful of using TppVariable Oncalc event because it seems it has some
bug which fires more than once per record transversal

Hi Peter,

This is not a known bug in ReportBuilder. Are you able to recreate this
issue with a simple example? If so, please send it in .zip format to
support@digital-metaphors.com and I'll take a look at it.
