Shared Date variable not working

[Fermo Zolli]

Hello, everybody,

New in this Forum,

With CR 2008 Version 12.3.0.601 I have created a subreport and edited a formula as follows:

//@SubFormula
//Returns the value that was stored
whileprintingrecords;
Shared DateVar DataCompletamento;{FOLLOWUP_STEP.WFFS_COMPLETION_DATE}

(note: if I try to write
Shared DateVar DataCompletamento:={FOLLOWUP_STEP.WFFS_COMPLETION_DATE};
It gives error)

COMPLETION_DATE is a Date and Time field. It is working correctly as I can ready its value in detail_a

Main report, I created another formula with same name (DataCompletamento) as the one in subreport, as follows:

//@MainFormula
//Returns the value that was stored
whileprintingrecords;
Shared datevar DataCompletamento;

I put this formula in detail_b area and I do not get any result: Why is it not working?
The 2 reports are linked and it is working correctly. I did so many trials but without any success.

Mi final goal is to get a difference in days between this date and another date in masni report.

Any help would be more than welcome.

Change the formula in the subreport to:

shared datevar Datacompletamento := date(FOLLOWUP_STEP.WFFS_COMPLETION_DATE});

Thank you very much, it works perfectly!
I am so happy to finally discover to not be alone (with sometimes real headache)! why didn't I do that before!

Another question: is thsat a way to bring the result at the same level of the main report in detail_a?

One more time thank you very much.

I don’t have enough info here. Where is the subreport located?

If the only value in detail_b is the shared variable, and you want it to appear in the same row as detail_a, you can just format detail_a to “underlay following sections”.
