[SOLVED] Invisible - No Print not working in Report Caster
Hello,

I have a report that I migrated from 7.6 to 8.005. In the report I have probably 20 parameters with 6 of them having the option of allowing me to turn the invisible on or off.

&totalPiecesInVisible.(,).

The report works fine in developer studio and shows in the parameter list as "totalPiecesInVisible" with options of YES or NO.

I have the report now set up in Report Caster. It has been working for sometime. Well I've just gotten a request to show one of the columns that I had set as invisible = on. In the new version report caster the value is now 'NOPRINT'. HOWEVER, when i go to try changing the value there is no other option to change it to. I can't delete the value or do anything with it.

Thanks for help in advance,
Kelly

If you want to be Visible just remove NOPRINT.

NOPRINT has always meant Invisible.

Hello,

Prarie - the problem with me removing the NOPRINT was then it would show all the time. I wanted the option to show the column. The report worked fine in Developer Studio. The issue being that in Report Caster I wasn't allowed to change from NOPRINT to Off.


I created a case on this and here is what we got figured out to change in the .fex file. Which in turn I was able to change in the Report Caster Job.

CHANGED: &totalPiecesInVisible.(,).
TO: &totalPiecesInVisible.(,<''>).
