problem with variables

Petar Rajcevic

I've created a new variable and send data to it from delphi2010 but nothing is printed. What am I doing wrong?

variable name is variable1 and I do it like this:

form1.frxReport1.Variables:=edit7.Text;

in freport [variable1] is in memo1

first your report file must be loaded in the tfrxcomponent before trying to set the value.
second when passing string values you must use extra string delimiters
read the programmer's manual on working with variables.

can you explain?



//second when passing string values you must use extra string delimiters

well I've tried with this

form1.frxReport1.Variables:='''' + 'test' + ''''

and

frxReport1.Script.Variables := 'test'

and still nothing.

SOLVED!

1. had to put userdataset to delphi form and set RangeEnd=reCount, RangeEndCount=1 (without this endless number of pages is created)

1a. assign masterdata1.dataset:=frxUserDataSet1

2. in OnGetValue event I did this: form1.frxReport1.Variables:=quotedstr(edit2.Text);



Is this the right way or ?????

to output something a masterdataband needs to be either connected to a datasource(controls no of times it repeats reccount) or set it's rowcount property to a value.
