Hi,

 

Are you looking for a way to display the current date time in your report? Do you really need that as a value in a table column or you actually display it as a single value in your report somewhere?

Thanks,
Teodor

Hi,

I think you can try to use java function in field which gives current date and time to the field. So that you can use that field as single field in report somewhere or use it in table column wherever suitable to your requirement. 

Thanks

Hi,

Just to point out that latest JR Library releases introduce support for functions. If you put in the classpath, the JR produced by the /demo/samples/functions sample in the JR project distro, you could use an expression such as:

<textFieldExpression>TODAY()</textFieldExpression>

More details about built-in functions and the way you could create your own custom functions for JR, can be found here:http://jasperreports.sourceforge.net/sample.reference/functions/index.html#functions

 

I hope this helps.
