GetValue

[Kebabmeister]

I cannot make "GetValue" work. I have tried the "Help" and using the format suggested there I have the following in the Finish method of an object:

GetValue("CallstatsSiteidBefore","PeriodSLA")

which causes the following:

NewReportApp::CallstatsSiteidBefore%Finish(5): Illegal variable use. - (GetValue)
NewReportApp::CallstatsSiteidBefore%Finish(7): Illegal variable use. - (PeriodSLA)
NewReportApp::CallstatsSiteidBefore%Finish(7): Operator not found for these types..

I just know this is something I'm doing that someone in the knwo will look at and laugh. If that someone is you, enjoy a giggle, and then please, HELP!

Really need to see the full code for what you are doing. However, in GetValue("CallstatsSiteidBefore","PeriodSLA"), the first argument should be an object and not in quotes

Thanks.

I have tried this in quotes, out of quotes, in as many combinations as I can think of. It always seems to report the GetValue function as an illegal variable.

Looking at the help example, it has vValue = GetValue( fromObject, vName ), whereas you just have GetValue("CallstatsSiteidBefore","PeriodSLA")

With what are you populating the return off getvalue?

Example 2 says:

You can call AVar with any of the following statements:

x = row.AVar
x = row.GetValue( "AVar" )
x = row.GetValue( 2 )

I have tried this with object name and variable name, in quotes, out of quotes. I am trying to access a variable of type double and the function is trying to populate a variable in the function of type double.

My guess is that it is a simple enough syntax problem but without knowing what that problem is, it's a nightmare to resolve.

Thanks anyway.

What about trying in the Sub OnRow() method

I must admit, that is where I was thinking of going next.

A_Variable = Me.GetValue("NameofDataRowPropertiesColumn")

is what I've used and seems to work for what I need it for ... used this expression in over-ridden OnRead method for DataRow.
