thats a missunderstanding - I do not want to see the reports XML structure - but want to have the report output in XML (like XLS or PDFs) - but there is no viewer for this in iReports (as there are fpr PDF, XML, HTML output) friedrich

Is there a way to preview XML output in ireports (I am currently using -> version 1.3.3) regards friedrich

If I understand you right 0 should be printed instead of blank. You could do this already in your query (depending on the database your are using). Something like NVL(field, 0) -> would result in 0 values instead of NULL in ORACLE. rgds

Yes I set teh default parameters, see the snippet from the jrxml file <parameter name="P_ACC_YEAR" isForPrompting="false" class="java.lang.String"><defaultValueExpression ><![CDATA["2006"]]></defaultValueExpression> </parameter> <parameter name="P_ACC_FROM" isForPrompting="false" class="java.lang.String"><defaultValueExpression ><![CDATA["01.01.".concat($P{P_ACC_YEAR})]]></defaultValueExpression> </parameter> regards friedrich

So I will try the new forum I tried to use nested parameters in my query (suggestion from jasper forum) but now get the following error (I am using iReports 0.5.0 to create/compile my reports) when creating the query based on the reports: "General problem: Source file: inline evaluation of: ....." What I did is: create a string parameter P_ACC_YEAR and a second parameter P_AM_CY_FROM based on the first one default expr = "01.01.".concat($P{P_ACC_YEAR}) when I use "01.01.".concat("2006") instead it works. Whats wrong? friedrich
