Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78077
RPT: need a possibility to refer parameter values in the report
Last modified: 2007-08-19 04:02:48 UTC
Imagine you want to have a report which contains, say, the sales volume of your company per month. You design this report, and execute it once per month - which will get you one document per month. You usually do this with a parametrized query. Unfortunately, in the resulting document, you cannot see *which* month this report is for: When you executed the report, you filled in the query's parameter which denotes the month (or the start and end day), but you have no change to refer those parameter values in the report. As a consequence, you must modify either your query, or the design of your report, every time you run it. Competitive products allow to refer to parameter values as if they were column names, e.g. [start_date].
This is a new implementation in CWS oj14. Adding keyword "new_implementation".
The Report Designer iTeam decided that this issue is a "should fix" for the first release of the report designer. Targeting to 2.x, thus.
fixed in CWS oj14 find more information about this CWS, like when it is available in the master builds, in EIS, the Environment Information System: http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Path=SRC680%2Foj14
re-opening - does not work in 0.4.0 build.
fixed again in CWS oj14. Somebody superseded the file which contained my fix with another one in another location, without re-adding my fix.
targeting to 2.3, since the fix is part of a CWS aiming for this release
fs-> msc: please verify in CWS oj14
verified in CWS oj14 version 0.5.0
Tested w/ 2.3m_1 and Sun Report Builder 1.0 The parameter names are passed into the add fields box. Numeric and Text parameters are passed in correctly. Date and Time parameters are displayed as numerics, but I believe that is already open as a different issue so closing this issue.
