Bind existing data to dataset [message #653027] Tue, 08 February 2011 03:56 Go to next message

Hi,

I'm currently working on extracting .rptdesign file using java. My problem is some of the data which isn't binded to the dataset of its table cannot display its value expression. Only data which is binded to its table can display the value expression. I tried to set the data item's dataset but it seems like it reset all the info of the data.

This problem has driven me crazy because this is a rare case in google. Can anyone please help me on how to bind the existing data to its table's dataset, in order to display the value expression? Thanks!

Cass

If you get the TableHandle call the the getTableBindings and add
computed columns to it using StructureFactory.createComputedColumn();.
Look at the attached example.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for your quick reply and the example.

My case is a bit different because my code reads all the .rpt files that have been created long time ago.. They include all the value expressions, name and data type. So, i only need to bind the individual data to its table or table's dataset without losing its original data.

Is it possible to do it in way?

Cass

Cass,

I am a little confused. In these reports is the binding missing?

Jason,

The reason i want to bind the data to a dataset because the value expression can only be displayed if the data is binded to a dataset. Otherwise, the value expression will not be displayed in the output of my program.

Let says, a table is created and binded to A dataset. There are a few data in a table but some of the data is binded to B dataset but rest of the data are not binded to any dataset.

So, my program will read the .rpt file by running through all the content. When it detects that the data isn't binded to dataset, it'll bind them to A dataset, which is same as the table, in order to display the value expression.

Hope you get what i'm saying.

Cass
