    Posted: 30 May 2011 at 12:12am
1st, I want to initiate a variable in main report like:
 
Shared numbervar CartonCount:=0;
 
Then, I wil pass the variable to sub-report and do the calaulation and pass back to main report (these actions will repeat several time because I put the sub-report in details part):
 
local stringvar a="";
Shared numbervar CartonCount;
 
if ( (CartonCount = 0) and count ({app_shipping_UnitLoadDetail.header_path}) > 1)
then (
a := "CARTON"+ Totext(CartonCount+1)
CartonCount := CartonCount + count ({app_shipping_UnitLoadDetail.header_path}) 
a := "-"+"CARTON"+count ({app_shipping_UnitLoadDetail.header_path})
}
 
However, there is an error message in the highlighted(in red colour) CartonCount indicated by cursor:
"The ) is missing"
 
Anyone can help me to fix it and tell me if it is correct or not for what I did.
 
What I want to do is that I want to hv an accumulated a result which proceed the calculation in sub-report and pass it back to main report. Then, the main report run the detail part, the variable will be passed from main report to sub-report again -> calculations -> pass back to main report. (these actions proceed several times)
 
 
Thanks * 10000

Sorry. Wrong typing.
The error message: "The ) is missing" still occur when I corrected "}" to ")" at the end of the formula.

Make sure you have a semi-colon at the end of each assignment statement.

Though, that probably isn't the problem either.

This should do the trick
 
if ( (CartonCount = 0) and  ({app_shipping_UnitLoadDetail.header_path}) > 1) then
 a := "CARTON"+ Totext(CartonCount+1);
 CartonCount := CartonCount +  ({app_shipping_UnitLoadDetail.header_path});
 a := "-"+"CARTON"+ ({app_shipping_UnitLoadDetail.header_path});
