Could not run program: Variable1OnCalc

rbuser

I am trying to use RAP for the first time but I am having some problems. I
added a variable to my report and the Variable1OnCalc looks like:

procedrue Variable1OnCalc(var value: variant);
begin
Value := Value+PAYMENTSHDR['AmountRequested'];
End;

The calculations compiles fine but when I preview the report I get the error
"Could not run program: Variable1OnCalc"
But if I change it to look like this it runs just fine:

procedrue Variable1OnCalc(var value: variant);
begin
Value :=PAYMENTSHDR['AmountRequested'];
End;

I have made sure I included raIDE and raCodMod in my uses clause.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi Phillip,

The reason you are seeing this error is that the type of the Variable does
not match the type you are trying to set it to. In the Report Designer, be
sure you set the TppVariable's type to Currency, or Double. This can be
done by selecting the variable and using the combo box at the top right of
the designer. The default is "String".

Yep, that was it. I can't believe I didn't catch that.

Thanks
