hi folks,
i am trying to calculate(sum) a field value within a script but i can not success.

my code is that

procedure ReportSummary1Onbeforeprint(Sender : TfrxComponent);
Var Total : Double;
begin
Total:=Sum(<frxdbdataset1."field1">);
// result is always null, but fields has values.
// memo component which uses the same expression no problem i can see the total.
// also i tried report.calc metod but no success. what i must do
end;

    i don't want to do it in a memoview. it's in the script.
    and my expression is working good in a memoview.

    i want to do it in a summary band before print event.
    also i tried the sum function with band parameter
    Total:=Sum(<frxdbdataset1."field1">,Masterdata1) and // always null
    Total:=Sum(<frxdbdataset1."field1">,Masterdata1,1) // always null

    i tried with report.calc function but result is null

    i think, there is a limitations with aggregate functions in the script.

    you can't do it that way the dataset is already closed that is why the null.
    if you would read the manuals you would Know about the limitations.
    if you want to use script declare your variable in the correct place and use the crooect obp of the correct band.
    var
    Total: double;// global available to all events in the report at top of code page
    obp of masterdata
    Total := Total + <datasetname."fieldname">;
    begin
    Total := 0; // initialize in the default block or in onstart treport event
    end.

    i can read field's value in reportsummaryband beforeprint event so, dataset is not closed.
    i thinks the problem is about aggregate function.
    i can do it now with fastreport 2,5.
    i can get total with TOTAL:=[SUM(QUERY1."FIELD1")];

    no gord, dataset is not closed it is open.
