Modify CAL Variables in Visual Studio for a Report

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by edwardl 2

I see that the output of the =Fields!Dim1Text_____.Value looks like this:

dim1.jpg

Its the last line which says: (Incluye Sales Type (Dim 1)Code: RETAIL)

I need to modify it obviously due to the spelling errors but I cannot find it anywhere in either Classic designer or Visual Studio designer:

I click on properties but it only shows me the source expression and how to format the text, not the actual text itself.

It is also not found in CAL Globals in Classic

This is NAV 2009 R2.

    In the report, under the dataitem Acc. Schedule Line, in the OnPreDataItem trigger it has the following code you need to change there

    IF "Acc. Schedule Line".GETFILTER("Dimension 1 Filter") = '' THEN

 Dim1Text := ''

ELSE BEGIN

 IF NOT Dimension.GET(AnalysisView."Dimension 1 Code") THEN

   Dimension.Name := AnalysisView."Dimension 1 Code";

 Dim1Text :=

   STRSUBSTNO(Text005,

     Dimension.Name,"Acc. Schedule Line".GETFILTER("Dimension 1 Filter"));

END;

    What about in the original question where I need to modify =Fields!Dim1Text_____.Value?

    Text005 is used multiple times in the report and the value it gets into %2 is the second parameter in STRSUBSTNO function. For ex:


    STRSUBSTNO(Text005,
    Budget.TABLECAPTION,"Acc. Schedule Line".GETFILTER("Budget Filter"));

    %2 value in the above example is "Acc. Schedule Line".GETFILTER("Budget Filter") the filter value.

    So you have to change second parameter if you need to display something different
