to support: Problem in a Section style subreport (potential bug?)

rbuser

hi,
i have placed a section style subreport in the summary band of the main
report
i have a problem formatting the system variable when used as pagenumber and
pageset
for legal reasons this number has to be formatted by length of 3 and thus
with preceding zeros
so the format in the systemvariable is '000' this works fine as long as i'm
not in the section style subreport
in the section the formatting does not get applied resulting in the printing
of the pageno / pageset without the format rule
in the section the system variables are placed in the page header
for the time being if have worked around this by placing a simple string
variable wich works since i do the formatting in code of course
can you look into this?

tia,
marc

Hi Marc,

In my testing, I was able to set the formatting correctly for a PageNo
SystemVariable in a Section Style Subreport and in a main report. The
display format for both the main report and subreport did not apply to the
PageSet format. If you would like to alter this display format, you may
need to create a TppSystemVariable descendent and customize this yourself.

Nico,
i was not using a pageset variable
just a pageno and pagecounter variable
on the main report they took the display format into account but in the
section style subreport they do not....
