copying filters between two data items in a report

anuragatish

Hi friends,

I have a report that has two data items.
All the filters applied on data item 1 at run time have to be applied as it is on data item 2 also.

i tried using getfilters on first data item. but can't set that on second data item.

Hi

Try this code
diItem1 := diItem2;

If both Dataitems work on the same table, you can best use

"Table DataItem2".COPYFILTERS("Table DataItem2");

This code you need to put in the OnPreReport-trigger.

kirki,

the data items are for two different tables. But have most of the fields common

dataitem 1 : Sales Invoice Header
dataitem 2 : Sales Cr. memo Header

i have to apply the filters set on dataitem 1 to dataitem 2.

Srikal

If they are dependent on each other (indented ) then u can use the same filters

else
if they r independent, then simply use the option (request form ) and force the user to enter the filters and simply apply the same on both the dataitems.

(Dont open each dataitem required filter fileds option to the users. )

The other way is to copy the filters field by field in the OnPreReport-trigger.

"Sales Cr.Memo Header".setfilter("No.","Sales Invoice Header".getfilter("No."));
"Sales Cr.Memo Header".setfilter("Sell-to Customer No.","Sales Invoice Header".getfilter("Sell-to Customer No."));
"Sales Cr.Memo Header".setfilter("posting Date","Sales Invoice Header".getfilter("posting Date"));
