rounding mode

2005-11-04 07:24

Hi

i noticed that the pattern used in textfield (e.g ###0.00) has a ROUND_HALF_EVEN rounding mode. But if i've to print totals of an invoice report i've to use a matematical rounding mode like ROUND_HALF_UP . To obtain this i put in textfield expression " new BigDecimal(myVariable).setScale(myScala,BigDecimal,ROUND_HALF_UP)".

Does a simplier method exist?

is possibile to change the rounding mode used by pattern ?

Tks

Hi

 

I'm not sure about pattern rounding mode but I have some trick which helps me make nice formatting in whole report.

I created special class with many format functions like toJPY, toRUB, etc. I put this class into report parameters map. Then I use it like this "((MyClass)$P{fmt}).toJPY($F{myField})"

The only problem is how to let JasperReport know about class type. I use simple casting, but I guess there is more suitable way.

 

Hope this helps.
