Example Report

Description

The attached example illustrates building expressions using native JavaScript functions and built in BIRT Functions. The example report is a simple list report that uses order details from the sample database to illustrate the functions. For example the following is used to set a data element to either true or false.

BirtComp.between(dataSetRow["QUANTITYORDERED"], 30, 50)

If the quantity ordered is between 30 and 50 the data element value is set to true, else it is set to false. Several examples are available in the report. Additionally the report includes using functions like the regular expression syntax within the expression builder. The following expression returns Match if the PRODUCTCODE column contains S18, else it returns No Match.

var expval = "";
var reg = /S18/;
var check = reg.exec(dataSetRow["PRODUCTCODE"]);
if( check ){
    expval="Match";
 }else{
    expval="No Match";
}
