how to perform a conditonal statement

[rlowe]

I am new to ireporter and have and SQL query that returns a boolean field called did_run where 0=false or 1=true. I would like to know how to have the report display the character string "New" when the value is false and blank "" when the value is true.

to obtaiin that u need to have an attribute which holds this values. Then in ur iReport field go to editExpression and give a ternary condition.

I hope this will resolve ur probs..

Exactlty, just to complement the previous reply:

1) Just edit the column field on your report (choose the "Edit expression" option), that you would like to print.

2) write something like:

$F{field}.equals(new String("0")) ? "New" : ""

 

And the field will be converted at "Printing" time, from 0/1 to "New"/""

Cheers,
