Hi you all, thanks for reading.
I am using report studio of cognos 8.4.1, and into a block as a new line of report title, i placed some value prompt controls and text boxes.
Ok, when i run the report I can see all the value prompt controls, but, when i send to pdf format, the value prompts controls and values, does not print on the pdf file.
1 - How i print this objects at the pdf format.
I tried adding to container class (the block) a property as report title, but value prompt does not have the class property. How i do to print it?
Ah!!! by the way, I also inserted a calculated text item value, with the expression based on the value prompt variables, and print, then i have the problem that when users are viewing the report, they have two lines with same values, and it seems weird or wrong.
2 - How i print a text item into pdf format, setting this one to visible = no at report run time?
Thanks,
DALSOM.
Hi,
Try this:
1. Create another page for PDF output
2. Create Render variables for output format
3. apply HTML variable to HTML output page and PDF variable to PDF output page
4. Create a layout calculation to get ParamDisplayValue of the prompt in PDF outpu page.
Thanks
Hi,
Thanks for answer me.
I did steps 1 and 4. And works!
But I still could not do steps 2 and 3.
Maybe It seems so simple for you, but i am just started facing real cognos world,
and real problems. Really i had been trying all this time to got these steps being failed on this task!
Can you post a link where i can check and learn on how to use render variables, in order
to show only page1 to user, and print page2 ?
Thanks.
