Hello all!

I have a report and I want to conditionally color the last 2 columns when they are withing 90 days from the current date.

In my STYLESHEET I have setup 2 conditional stylings:

type=data, COLOR=red, column=FB_PLUS, WHEN=redFlag eq 'Y', $
type=data, COLOR=red, column=AEND, WHEN=redFlag eq 'Y', $

Naturally, in the report I define the redFlag to be Y when the date difference is <= 90.

The problem is the styling is only applied when I print out redFlag, but I do not want to have to print out this flag. What am I missing here?

Use column notation with NOPRINT instead of the fieldname, e.g.:
 
TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
BY COUNTRY NOPRINT
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA,COLOR=RED, COLUMN=CAR, WHEN=N1 EQ 'ENGLAND',$
ENDSTYLE
END

Hi,

Just add your field in the TABLE with NOPRINT like this :

TABLE FILE
PRINT/SUM redFlag NOPRINT
...
END

or

TABLE FILE
PRINT/SUM COMPUTE redFlag/format = expression ; NOPRINT
...
END

Regards,
Michel

Ok thanks guys I got it to work by using NOPRINT.

Maybe this should have occured to me, but then again NOPRINTing something in a list of things to print seems a little funny ;]

Sounds like it's solved, but as an explanatory note, it has to do with the values being available in the internal matrix. By including in in the verb clause, it is added to the matrix, but the NOPRINT excludes it from the printed output.
In order for the Conditional styling to work, it has to have the value of that field somewhere. Even if it is defined, it isn't available unless it's in the PRINT/SUM. You'll find this applies in several circumstances.


Regards,

Darin
