A couple more questions

Q: I'm trying to write some Java script as part of an expression
and I have

var count = DataRow.rowNo;

but I get an error when I go to preview, any ideas why this doesn't
evaluate.


Q: When will the expression editor have intelli-sense, to support Object
available methods and attributes?

hmmm :| I also tried. from the rom spec

var r = report.dataSets["DataInfo"].row
var rowNumber = r.rowNo

where "DataInfo" is the name of my data set.
and still can't get the row index, any idea how this is done?

Also

Mike,

I found this same issue and have logged a bug on it. In the meantime
you can use:
row[0] which gets a field that holds a zero based number for the
position of the record in the DataSet.

Mike,

As Scott pointed out, the team decided to drop the name alias for the row
number column out of concern for the "rowNo" name clashing with a real
column name. The data row is an array of values, and allows both numeric and
string indexes. Even though the "rowNo" string index is not available, you
can use the numeric index: row[0]. (Columns from your data set are defined
to start with index 1, so BIRT reserves index 0 for the row count.)

On intellisense; the UI team is looking at possible projects for the next
release and intellisense is on their list. However, at this point, no post
1.0 feature list is yet available, but watch for the candidate list in the
coming weeks.
