Figure 136 – The list of system variables
For this example, the DataBlock name as well as the departments selected within the
DataBlock form will be placed into Summary Band that was created in Example 1.
The DataBlock form for Example 1 consists of a list of department names which is
contained in the variable LISTBOX1.DEPT_NAME shown at the bottom of the list in the
above figure.
To add the selected department names into the Summary Band, click the
LISTBOX1.DEPT_NAME variable and it will be placed within the band. When adding the
expression to the band, select the “Autostretch height” box which will increase the height
of the band, if necessary, to accommodate the list of selections from the form.
To add the DataBlock name to the Summary Band, repeat the above process to add an
expression field and select the variable GETVARIABLE(‘$DATABLOCK.NAME’).
Figure 137 – The Summary Band with the new fields
The DataBlock Name (User Guide) as well as the Departments selected within the
DataBlock form (Product Dev, HR, Sales) now appear within the Summary Band. Labels
(“DataBlock Name” and “Departments Selected”) were added separately to describe the
newly added information.
