appearance of fields

[rajuchacha007]

Hello experts,

 

Is there any possibility to print the fields in parenthese like in ().

I mean if i have a filed called $F{Employee_project_ID} which is displayed as 4. Is there any possibility to display it like (4). Can we do it in ireport? If yes, do I need to amend any changes in expression?

 

Best regards,

Abhijit.

if your field is an Integer field... then, you must change the textfield to a String type and set the expressione like:

"("+yourFieldName.intValue()+")"

if your field is a String field... then simply set the expression as:

"("+yourFieldName+")"

if it is in a different format, post its format so I can help you in a better way.

 give us feedback :)

@slow...indeed it worked. I have only one query in my mind. while executing it within java or while grouping this, the change i made in data type would create any problem? thanks for the suggestion man.

if you modify only the "presentation" layer... or a textfield you have no issue to solve.

if you make some modification to the field coming from the db, maybe some problems can happen... but i think, (I'm sure) you have modified only the textfield that show the code using the format "("+yourFieldName.intValue()+")" so it's all ok.

thanks for karma...
