conditional detail line

2005-08-24 20:03

I have been trying to get a report to produce a second conditional detail line and have had no success. I have outlined a sample of the detail section of my report below and it all seems pretty easy, with the exception of the special "On Backorder" line. I want this line to appear only for those items that are on backorder, however I cannot figure out how to do this. If I define the height of the detail to include this line then all detail lines appear this high regardsless of wether the item is on back order or not. I have a report field that can be used in a printWhenCondition, but I don't undersand how to implement this. For example

 

<printWhenExpression>

<![CDATA[ $F{backorderId} > 0 ? Boolean.TRUE : Boolean.FALSE ]]>

</printWhenExpression>
