How to get a source expression from another table extension

I am trying to add a column from a custom field to my report extension. I created the custom field using a table and page extension.

More specifically, I made the two custom fields to extend the Company Information page, and I trying to add those fields as columns to a report extension that extends a Sales Invoice Report.

If you look at this screenshot below, you can see "SourceExpression" as a second parameter to the column function:

When I try adding the field name I want (the custom fields) for the SourceExpression, intellisense does not recognize it, and I get a problem saying that "the field does not exist in the current context".

How do I make the field available in the current context?

Thanks,
J

Hi,

Define Company information as a Global Variable in sales invoice Report extension, and than add fields from company information table as a column under in header dataset.

because we are defining companyinfo5 as a new variable than use a GET command to fetch record from database.

dataset

{

// Add changes to dataitems and columns here

add("Sales Invoice Header")

{

column(BankName;CompanyInfo5."Bank Name")

{

}

}

modify("Sales Invoice Header")

{

trigger OnBeforePreDataItem()

begin

CompanyInfo5.get;

end;

}

}

var

CompanyInfo5: Record "Company Information";

Rereads,

Alok
