XML Datasource

Hi,

new day, new question. Now we try to bind our report to a xml-datasource
dunring runtime.

The report was designed years ago and bound to a ttx file.
The ttx file includes also the declatation of the variables and look like this:

he     string    255    Zeichenfolge
tplatz     string    255    Zeichenfolge
tlager     string    255    Zeichenfolge
tlgruppe     string    255    Zeichenfolge
klag    boolean    Falsch
ymhd    datetime    XXX
yvhe     string    255    Zeichenfolge
ymgele    number    0
yartliefnr     string    255    Zeichenfolge
ylagername     string    255    Zeichenfolge
ybio    boolean    Falsch
ywterm    datetime    XXX
yistmhd    boolean    Falsch

Now we try to fill the report with data out of a xml-file, which includes all the fields. Is it possible to define the variable-type in xml, like:

Now:
<he>teststring</he>

???
<he typ="string">teststring</he>

The problem is, that the report throws an error:

Error in Formel (we no the formel is ok and works in the old way).
'if {VLS.he} = "Lieferschein"

"Here a number field or a currency amount field is required."

But why the field is declared as string!

Thanks a lot

Have you tried verifying the database against the new .xml file?

I don't know about changing the extension, but when I changed the schema in my xml files, I would need to verify to get the report to understand everything.

it's a thought
