Using $V{REPORT_COUNT} in a table printWhenExpression, limit table rows

[webapps30]

I am trying to print the Top 10 rows from my subDataset in a table (which is in the Summary band). There is no other meaningful content.

example expression (used in the reportElement tag just abouve the table tag):

$V{REPORT_COUNT} < 10

I'm having some trouble with it, using it with a table. I've found that I can use this expression effectively to limit rows of the main dataset & query. Works great.

I can even use $V{REPORT_COUNT} if I want to add an extra column to the table, and it prints out fine: 1 2 3 ...

 

Since I didn't want any repeating record issues, and this is intended to be short, I'm putting the table into the Summary band, and it uses a subDataset.

This seems like the most straightforward way to do this, but I must be missing something.

Any tips, or suggestions on this, would be appreciated.

Why not just modify your dataset query to include where rownum <= 10
