toUppercase() functionality for the fields

[rajuchacha007]

Hello experts,

 

I have been generating reports and executing them within a java file. I am using Group Header to group the data for particular criteria. Now, if I want to diplay this data in Uppercase or in lowercase what hould I do? Right now my approach is to use print when expression.

for e.g. for a particular field, in the print when expression property, I am writing

first i tried

$F{description}.toUpperCase()

Later I tried

$F{description}.toUpperCase()==true

It compiles well  without any error but it does not show the desired out put. It shows completely blank. I think it's due to this expression, it's checking whether or not this field is uppercase only. This is where i am committing mistake. How to get this field converted in uppercase?  Should I declare boolean? Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

Forget about the print when expressin, it is used to condition the visibility of the textfield.

You just need to modify the expression of the textfield (which is what is displayed in the textfield itself).

What you did in terms of expression was correct:

$F{my_field}.toUpperCase()

This will print the value of my_field in upper case.

You are right. It worked. I should have done for the textfield expression.

Thanks a lot.
