Sun Report Builder
You can find the Sun Report Builder here.
Conditional Print Expression
A conditional print expression allows the user to narrow the output which should be visible when executing the report. If the condition evaluates to true than the element (section or element) will be printed in the report. The syntax is the same as for functions.
Functions
A function can be created when opening the report navigator. In the context menu on the functions entry you can create one function.
This function can either be in the global context of the report itself or in any group.
The illustration below shows how subtotal fields are created in Report Builder, using functions :
The report source table is shown on the upper left.
The resulting report layout is illustrated below the table. A group has been defined on the plProductType field. The sum field is created on the group footer. The rightmost part of the image shows the definition of a function that serves as the data source for the sum field.
Computed fields
Computed fields can be created in that way that the formula is entered directly into the data field.
E.g. 100*[Population]/[PopulationCount] to get the percentage of the current population
Syntax
- quote for [ is \
- \\
- [] as reference for formula or field name
- "" to quote strings
- . as decimal separator
- date as in java specific
- parameter separator is ; (semicolon) and it is allowed to let some parameters empty inside a call like XYZ(;kk;;kkb)
Supported Functions
Generally all functions which are defined in the OpenFormula should be supported. But this is currently still ongoing work and may change after each release of the Sun Report Builder.

Int
Text
Exact, Find, Left, Len, Lower, Mid, Replace, Rept, Right, Substitute, Text, T, Trim, Upper, URL
