Title: Need to know what objects are using a boolean variable in a RS report
Post by: sandeep8000861 on 11 Aug 2009 05:42:55 AM

Hi all,

I have a Cognos 8.4 report studio report that is migrated from reportnet 1.1

There is a function ReportOutput() that is being used in a Boolean variable in this way: ReportOutput() = 'PDF'

Now, i want to know if this variable is being used on any object in the report or is there someother way this variable is being used.

Any working ideas are most welcome.

Thanks in advance.
Sandeep

if there is no other way...
you can open report (xml specification) in notepad and search where this variable is used..
it is not impossible to locate the object, but it depends how complex your report is!!
