Current Date Function Issue

[GrayMatter]

Hello,


I found that the function that can be used to display the current date is “DateCutExpression”. This option in the Report Designer cannot be invoked. Is there any approach to display the current date?

Since I have to design reports with the current date in it, which is mandatory I need your assistance.

Any kind of assistance will be appriciated.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ganga

Hi,

In my report I use a BSHExpression with this code :

getValue(){
  return new Date();
}

then I create a DateField to display it.

Hope that help,

Greg.

Hi,

JFreeReport provides an internal report property for that. Just declare a report property named "report.date" and JFreeReport makes sure, that this one contains the correct date/time.

That internal time is set exactly once per report run, so that the date does not change. The BSH-Solution (or any other expression returning a new date every time) has the disadvantage, that the returned date (as it is based on the current system time) changes slightly every time it is returned).

Hi Thomas,
I read the solution you posted regarding the Current Date. I tried the option you mentioned. It worked. Can I use the "report.date" to display the current date in all my reports that I need to design?

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have some more queries for which I might need some assistance. I might post those queries when I ecounter them.
Expecting the same support and co-operation.

Thanks,

Regards,
Ganga
