Posted on by Mav

I am using this line of code

SalesTable selectedRec = this.args.record() ? args.record() : null;

and then when i debug this I see 1 rec in salestable but no rec for my selectedrec.

What am i doing wrong?

Also please suggest how can i get to assign the value of proforma situated under caller obj to a local variable. Pls ref the pics.

Its my custom class extending salesinvoicecontroller.

I am not sure if that is a global variable as it is shown as variable under callerobj

I am calling this code while running the salesinvoicereport.

well you can go to the base class and see if its a global variable . You can access protected global variables using coc . Also I see Salestable buffer in your screen shot , then what's the point of getting it from args ?

You print invoice from a journal and there is global variable custInvoiceJour you can use in the controller class. You can get SalesTable from it. On your screenshot you have SalesTable not in args but in callerObject, so if you need it grab it either from custInvoiceJour or from caller.

Sukrut Parab Thanks I am trying to customize the salesinvoice report.

Mea_

Looking at controller class I found that I can use CustInvoiceJour.IsProforma() (which will always return true) as an evaluation condition in my code.

Can you pls provide code sample for how to get the value of salestable rec into my salestable buffer selectedrec.

Also where can find current report design being used by the report in debugging window.

I have extended & customized all designs of report Salesinvoice & Salesinvoice_IN.

However i still don't see my customized report when i run the proforma report ,instead i see default report. That is strange considering i have customized all designs for Salesinvoice & slaesinvoice_IN report & restared SSRS service too.

Any thoughts.

@Sukrut thanks , yes we can find it from that.

However i was looking to use caller as I can already see the field & its value during debugging , there has to be a way that we could get this using caller. As using caller would save me from making unnecessary calls to sql to get the value which is already there .

Could you please let me know how can I get this value using caller, can you pls share the code.

That you can see a value in debugger doesn't automatically mean that it's accessible from your code.

In your case, the caller object is SalesInvoiceJournalPrint and its salesTable variable is protected, therefore you can't access it from outside. But it's also returned from the public method parmSalesTable(), therefore you can simply call this method.

SalesInvoiceJournalPrint jourPrint = args.caller() as SalesInvoiceJournalPrint; if (jourPrint) { selectedRec = jourPrint.parmSalesTable(); }
