Hide field in a report

[Dalarna]

Hi all!
Need a tip ... Report – Clarion Template Chain
Have you any tip where in the embedded points I shall write code if I want to hide fields in the reports detail area ...
Ex.
IF X = 1
HIDE(?LOC:A)
.
I have tested in Before Print Details section but there it not works.

Hi!

The proper usage is ::

Report$?Loc:A{PROP:Hide} = True

since for Reports you need to specify the target unlike a Window.

Check the generated source to see if this code is before the PRINT(...) commands and it will work fine.

Thanks ShankarJ!
I will try your tip but I am afraid I need some help from you to fix the "problem"
Can reach you via email if needed?

Hi ShankarJ

If we test in a clarion sample report, so maybe I understand the principle to hide fields

Clarion/Examples/HowToClarion/Reports/
file: clrep003.clw

If I want to hide Dis:StoreID, where shall i write the code (embedded point)?
ex.
HIDE(?Dis:StoreID

Hi Magne,

I do not use Legacy and so I cannot tell you the embed point but you can find the best embed by pressing the SOURCE button, then search for the PRINT(..) statement(s) and choose the embed just BEFORE the PRINT(..) statements.

Assuming the label of your report is Report, then the command to hide would be ::

Report$?DIS:StoreID{PROP:Hide} = True

OR

HIDE(Report$?DIS:StoreID)

Hi!
It worked well with:
Report$?DIS:StoreID{PROP:Hide} = True
in Before Printing Detail Section
Thanks for he help!
