Hello,

Can BIRT assign a data point or a data array (obtained from SQL dataset) to a global variable that can be accessed throughout the report?

for example, suppose I have the following data set:
----------------
| NAME | VALUE |
----------------
|JOHN | 4 |
----------------
|MARY | 8 |
----------------
|KATE | 0 |
----------------

Can I assign a value of zero associated with 'KATE' programmatically (x = 0)?

Thanks in advance,

There are a lot of ways to do this in BIRT. It can be done in Java or
JavaScript. You can event create and use a Java HashMap from JavaScript
events. In this case a simple javascript array will probably do what
you want. Have a look at the attached example. A hidden table is used
to fire an oncreate event that loads a js array which is then used by a
scripted data set for a second table.
