Master-Detail pipelines

rbuser

Hi. I am using RB 6.03 Enterprise and programming in RAP. I am using a
Master-Detail setup through my pipelines since I am reporting from a text
file. For each MASTER record that is traversed in the report, I want to
check to see if there are DETAIL records for the MASTER. A detail count
property or a boolean value would be great. Is there a way to do this using
RAP? Thanks in advance.

The following may only work if the SkipWhenNoRecords property is false on
the detail dataset.

If you are using Delphi query linking, you should be able to check the
record count of the detail dataset.

If you are using DADE query linking, then the detail dataset includes all
details for all maters, and you'll have to check the linking field value of
the current detail record to see if it matches the current master record.

From RAP, you should be able to access the datapipelines directly. For the
subreport datapipeline, call Subreport1.Datapipeline['myLinkFieldName']
