Username / physicalname / language specifice

rbuser

Hello,

i am looking for a method to pass to ReportBuilder physical namens and alias
(uernames) as tablenames and fieldnames.
But in script only physical should be used. the reason is, that in a
multilanguage environment all user should see field names in there
language.

my idea is, to show in DATA-Tab all feild names with usernames, but the tab
with the generated SQL should be nativ (real database field names). Also the
drag & drop toolbox should show usernames, but if droped in the editor it
should bring in the memo the native field. So all scripts are compatible
(because they are stored in the same storage).

The fields (labels) in the designer / layout should show usernames. so
mostly is friendly looking, but on coding all is native.

any idea how to do that?

Hi Chris,

You should be able to accomplish all of this using the DataDictionary. This
allows you to define (translate) all the field aliases ReportBuilder and
DADE will use however the SQL code will still remain the same.

is it possible to use datadictionary as an unvisble component? I am not
using the Reportexplorer for loading etc.

Hi Chris,

Yes, the datadictionary can be used without the report explorer. It is
designed to be used with the end-user designer and DADE to give your users a
more understandable definition of each field available to create a report.
The Report Explorer demos show how to use the DataDictionary however the
actual report explorer is not necessary.
