Hi,

I have been working on showing images in a PDF report as data row.
I have to append a value and image and show that in a column.
I can do that in HTML,but how do i achieve that in PDF.

Here is the sample code i use to show images in a PDF.I need to append any column along with the column N1.
Not sure where i will append.
In HTML format i can append that in a define field and use.

DEFINE FILE WF_RETAIL
ICON_PATH/A500V=
IF WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Accessories' THEN 'IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Apps/Images/green_icon.png'

Any one attempted this scenario.?

It looks like you should be able to do that using conditional styling, where you define one image and condition for each PRODUCT_CATEGORY.

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
     INCLUDE = IBFS:/EDA/EDASERVE/_EDAHOME/ETC/warm.sty,
$
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N1,$ Default case
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N1, IMAGE=('IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Apps/Images/green_icon.png'), SIZE=(.3 .3),
 WHEN=PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Accessories',$
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N1, IMAGE=('IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Apps/Images/green_icon.png'), SIZE=(.3 .3),
 WHEN=PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Camcorder',$
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N1, IMAGE=('IBFS:/WFC/Repository/Apps/Images/green_icon.png'), SIZE=(.3 .3),
 WHEN=PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Computers',$

etc.

ENDSTYLE
END

You should be able to achieve both HTML and PDF outputs using the following (I've used images on my install so they may/may not be on yours) -

DEFINE FILE WF_RETAIL
ICON_PATH/A100V = IF WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Accessories'      THEN 'C:\ibi\AppStudio82\webapps\webfocus\activereports\distribution\images\irbcomment.png'
             ELSE IF WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Camcorder'        THEN 'C:\ibi\AppStudio82\webapps\webfocus\activereports\distribution\images\irbfltg.png'
             ELSE IF WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Computers'        THEN 'C:\ibi\AppStudio82\webapps\webfocus\activereports\distribution\images\irblock.png'
             ELSE IF WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Media Player'     THEN 'C:\ibi\AppStudio82\webapps\webfocus\activereports\distribution\images\irbhrglss.png'
             ELSE IF WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Stereo Systems'   THEN 'C:\ibi\AppStudio82\webapps\webfocus\activereports\distribution\images\irbunlock.png'
             ELSE IF WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Televisions'      THEN 'C:\ibi\AppStudio82\webapps\webfocus\activereports\distribution\images\irbline.png'
             ELSE IF WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY EQ 'Video Production' THEN 'C:\ibi\AppStudio82\webapps\webfocus\activereports\distribution\images\irbscattr.png' ELSE '';
END
TABLE FILE WF_RETAIL
SUM 
     WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SALES.REVENUE_US
BY  ICON_PATH
BY  WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_PRODUCT.PRODUCT_CATEGORY
BY  WF_RETAIL.WF_RETAIL_SALES.SALE_UNITY
WHERE RECORDLIMIT EQ 1000

@Tony & @Wep5622,
Thanks for the examples.
I am able to get the images in PDF.The code i posted also does that.
But what i am trying to do is, append REVENUE_US along with the ICON.
I am able to append that in HTML using define.But in PDF output format i am not able to do that.
Sorry for not being clear earlier.

Even in HTML the image is a seperate object and not merged (as you seem to imply) except from the viewpoint that they could be contained within the same tabular cell (<TD> element).

A PDF stream doesn't really have the same construct as HTML output so, no, you can't do that.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for clarifying.
In HTML i append image to the value as shown below.
The define field Def_IMAGECONCAT will have image and value as a column.

  
BASE_PATH/A500V ='WFServlet.ibfs?IBFS1_action=RUNFEX&|IBFS_path=/WFC/Repository/Apps/Images/';
ICON_PATH/A500V = IF Def_ROW EQ 'Percent Change' AND SaleCount GT 0 THEN BASE_PATH || 'green_icon.png' ELSE IF Def_ROW EQ 'Percent Change' AND SaleCount LT 0 THEN BASE_PATH || 'red-icon.png';
ICON/A500 = '<IMG SRC="'||ICON_PATH||'" width=10px height=10px>';
Def_IMAGECONCAT/A600V = IF Def_ROW EQ 'Percent Change' AND SaleCount GT 0 THEN ICON|' '|FPRINT(SaleCount,'D12.2','A100') ELSE IF Def_ROW EQ 'Percent Change' AND SaleCount GT 0 THEN ICON|' '|FPRINT(SaleCount,'D12.2','A100') ELSE FPRINT(SaleCount,'D20','A100');

quote:

append image to the value

They are still two seperate objects!
