is it possible to display "detail" band dynamincally, if so how to do?

[bhanuchandharchalla]

Hi All,

I have a situation in which I need to display "detail" band dynamically.

1. There is a StaticText field and TextField(will display REMARKS).

2. If REMARKS available, detail band should display on the Report.

3. If REMARKS not available, detail band should not display on the Report.

Any help would be very grateful on above issue.

 

Thanks in Advance

From the top of my head:

Click on "detail band" and at the properties where you read "prin when"

add a code like :  $V{REMAKRS} != null

(or search for detail band print property ;) )

Thanks for the quick reply.

 

I have written this: $F{REMARKS} != null

 

But getting compilation error:

 

Errors were encountered when compiling report expressions class file:

1. Cannot cast from boolean to Boolean

value = (java.lang.Boolean)(((java.lang.String)field_REMARKS.getValue()) != null); //$JR_EXPR_ID=71$

<----------------------------------------------------------------------->

2. Cannot cast from boolean to Boolean

value = (java.lang.Boolean)(((java.lang.String)field_REMARKS.getOldValue()) != null); //$JR_EXPR_ID=71$

<-------------------------------------------------------------------------->

3. Cannot cast from boolean to Boolean

value = (java.lang.Boolean)(((java.lang.String)field_REMARKS.getValue()) != null); //$JR_EXPR_ID=71$

<----------------------------------------------------------------------->

3 errors

 

why it is not working here although it is working in some other condition?

Thanks for ur help.

 

I have added this:

 

Boolean.valueOf($F{REMARKS != null}

 

It is working fine now.
