Variable Expressions

[christineolah]

 Hello,

 

I'm having trouble with the following variable expression in iReport:

($V{CST_ELA_2}.intValue() != 2) ? (($V{CST_ELA_5}.intValue() == 5) ? 5 : 0) : 2

 

I have 2 integer variables CST_ELA_5 and CST_ELA_2.

I just want to return the smaller of the two values, but I think null values are causing an issue. This expression is only returning values that meet the criteria of 5, otherwise the value is null.  Any suggestions?

 

Christine

 what about something like the following: 

 

 

$V{var1}.intValue() == null ?                                          -> checks for null in first variable

$V{var2}.intValue() == null ?                                       -> checks for null in second variable

0 : $V{var2}.intValue()                                     -> if both are null, send zero, else if only first is null send second variable

: $V{var1}.intValue() >= $V{var2}.intValue ? -> check if first value is greater or equal

$V{var1}.intValue() : $V{var2}.intValue() -> if first is larger or equal, return first variable, else return second
