Variables do not appear in No Data Band

[incirlikhodja]

I have two variables in the No Data Band.  When I test for no data, the No Data Band appears as it should; however, the variables in the No Data Band do not appear.  Both variables use scriptlets.  One variable, takes today's date, passes it to a scriplet which renders the date in the Portugese language.  The other variable takes one of the input parameters and prints it with some text.  Both variables use scriptlets.

Do scriptlets not execute when the No Data Band is encountered?  I have tried different evaluation times:  report, page, auto.  Nothing seems to work.  Please advise.
