Evaluation von Variables

[barthi]

Hi!

 

I have a problem with the evaluation-time of a variable.

 

I have a report with a subreport. The subreport contains a list of cars. Every entry has a position number.

Now, I only want to print the entries with a position number smaller then the highest position number.

 

So I made a variable with calculation type highest and increment type report (also tried none, but no change).

 

When adding the variable to the report, I change the evaluation time from now to report. Then I only get the highest value, as desired.

 

But now, I want to add this variable as a print when expression for my list. In this case I can't change the evaluation time and my variable increases with every detail row.

 

What am I doing wrong? Can't this be down this way??

 

Thanks,

barthi

I think I unclear on what you are asking. If you are printing the position numbers smaller than the highest position number: that means you want to print everything except for the highest position number? And you want to do all of this in the sub-report (calculation and print when expression)?

Yes exactly. I want to print everything with a position number smaller then the highest one.

I don't want to display the posnumber, it's just for calculation.

Sorry I shouldnt of replied in the first place. I had a problem similar to this before and I applied it to your situation with no luck. I keep coming across evaluation timing issues and you might be having the same problem.
