Hello Members,

Is there any way to customize the tooltip display value. Basically my need is to display the column values instead of column name(and this column is in a BY). This is a tabular report.
I have tried something like this(plus a few more hit n trials, but each time I end up with a static tooltip ):
-SET &TOOLTIP_VAL = J7.DIMENSION_TIMELU.LABEL

and then
TABLE FILE QTRCLMETHOLD
SUM
.
.
.
BY QTRCLMETHOLD.QTRCLMET.LABEL_TRIMED AS '&TOOLTIP_VAL'


We are using 8.009 version

Thanks in advance.

Tool tip works only with output in html format.
If that is your output method, you can show almost anything as a tool tip.
It is important that the values to be shown are alphanumeric.
In your small example I am assuming that the field use as tool tip is indeed that.
And note that tool tip is something quite different than field name (aka the AS-phrase).

TABLE FILE QTRCLMETHOLD
SUM
.
COMPUTE TTIP/A200 = '<span title="' | J7.DIMENSION_TIMELU.LABEL | '">' | QTRCLMETHOLD.QTRCLMET.LABEL_TRIMED | '</span>';
.
BY QTRCLMETHOLD.QTRCLMET.LABEL_TRIMED NOPRINT

This example will work, but not as BY-field, it has to be a defined or computed field.
Hence the BY ... NOPRINT to ensure the correct sorting.

Hope this helps.

Thanks GamP, this helped
