Report Scripts

A script field is the value returned by executing a JADE Report Writer script when the report is run.

You can define scripts for use as formulae in the report to calculate values to be printed, to set property values or to filter query results (for example, to determine whether a field or frame should be printed).

Scripts can also be used in profile selection criteria and as sort and group fields. However, since JADE Report Writer scripts are always evaluated after the query results are retrieved, it is more efficient to use JADE methods in the profile where possible.

For details about scripts, see Appendix A, "Using JADE Report Writer Scripts".
