Posted on by Community Member

Hey guys,

in the layout of my report I have created a table with many rows.

Each row will have its own condtion, to say, when it will be printed.

One of these conditions should be:

Unfortunately I cannot compile my report after adding that condition...

The error message says, that "COPYSTR" is not declared...

What do I have to do?

Thank you ;)

use mid(), left(), right() instead. copystr is a c/al or al command, not a vb command.

Thank you, that was the solution ;)

Do you if, there is somewhere a document to see, which function in c/al or al could correspond to a vb command?

I have to use functions like TOTALSCAUSEDBY in my report layout, but the report builder does not know them.
