How to advise db result=0 rows to Task object? [message #199134]

Hi all,

I need to communicate report has 0 rows as result of db query ( so the
blank report is not emailed in my case) to the task object .

basically the row count of the result needs to be advised back to the
report invoking appln.

Cannot seem to modify params or even object put into appContext from the
script - so can be read after task is run.

Any preferred way.

Pls advise as it is something obvious I am missing.

Thanks

One way to do this is to modify the application context in script and then
after the report is executed get the appcontext and look for your value.

--beforeFactory
rwc =0;

--afterFactory

appcon = reportContext.getAppContext();

appcon.put("TESTCOUNT", rwc );

--Table row onCreate
rwc+=1;

----java--
task.run();

HashMap hm = (HashMap)task.getAppContext();

hm.get("TESTCOUNT");

May be a similar way but this works in 2.1.1

Hi Jason,

Tks for reply and this is what i'e been trying but in 2.0.0

In the dataSource(open) script was able to access
TestCount directly from appContext -
count=TestCount;

So I tried the same in DataSource(fetch)-
TestCount= rowCount;

but this did not change the TestCount in appContext
after running. :(

I think reportContext not avaible in 2.0.0 ?

Can you advise if this works ( or any other )in 2.0.0 ..
as I really would like to avoid an upgrade if possible .

Best Regards,
Sandhu

Sorry DataSet(fetch) not DataSource(fetch).

reportContext is available in 2.0.0.
The example code I posted should work in 2.0.0.
Try building the same example. Notice I incremented the count on the table
where the row was created.
I did this because this is the actual output. A data set can be called
multiple times and filtered out, so I put it on the
output. If you have issues with the source I posted send me your report and
I can look at it.
