WESelectCascadeExt Limitations or problem

[sylvainchevalle]

Hi all, I am quite new in WebElements development but I wanted to check with the experts if a limitation had been recognized or if I am only not having enough experience.

My question is: Is the WESelectCascadeExt Element limited to obtained the same amount of ID and Description. If I have in my database 26 Description but 44 Ids (depending on the upper level choosen in Hierarchy then it should be unique again) will it continue to work ?

So if it i supported then I am asking what I am doing wrong. I have built a subreport with 2 set of variables (one with Ids and one with Description) These shared variable array are used then in the main report in WESelectCascadeExt... I am getting an error "a subscript must be between 1 and the size of the array"...

Thank you for help and cheers.

hello SC,

the error that you are receiving is due to having a different number of ID's than descriptions.

what i would recommend is that in your formula for adding the descriptions (26 now) to the string running total, take away the condition that checks to see if it's already in the string running total.

i.e. the string running total will add in the description regardless of whether or not it's in the string running total already. this way it will increment 44 times and you will not get the error.

cordially,
