Why Integer given in DataItem in Report

upasanisandip

Does anyone knows why Integer given in DataItem in Report many times.

For example report no. 402 Purchase Document Test.


Thanks,

Basically the Integer DataItem is like a FOR loop for reports: f.e. if you set an Invoice to print in 3 copies, it will get filtered for 1..3 and basically works as a FOR I := 1 TO 3 loop.

It is also used to process data from temporary tables. See Sales Order (Report 10075) as an example.

Which is, in turn, a subcategory of the FOR cycle
