Class PercentageExpression

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable, Cloneable, Expression
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    ItemColumnQuotientExpression

    public class PercentageExpression
    extends AbstractExpression
    Deprecated.
    The same can be achieved using a simple ValueExpression.
    Computes the percentage for a column in relation to a base column.

    The function undestands two parameters. The dividend parameter is required and denotes the name of an ItemBand-field which is used as dividend. The divisor parameter is required and denotes the name of an ItemBand-field which is uses as divisor.

    If either the divident or the divisor are not numeric, the expression will return null.

    The formula used is as follows:

     Percent := divident / divisor
     

    If the flag useDifference is set, the difference between base and subject is used instead.

     Percent := (divisor - divident) / divisor

    • Constructor Detail

      • PercentageExpression

        public PercentageExpression()
        Deprecated.
        Constructs a new function.

        Initially the function has no name...be sure to assign one before using the function.

    • Method Detail

      • isUseDifference

        public boolean isUseDifference()
        Deprecated.
        Returns whether the difference between divident and divisor should be used as real divisor.
        Returns:
        true, if the difference is used, false if the divident is used directly.
      • setUseDifference

        public void setUseDifference​(boolean useDifference)
        Deprecated.
        Defines whether the difference between divident and divisor should be used as real divisor.
        Parameters:
        useDifference - true, if the difference is used, false if the divident is used directly.
      • getRoundingMode

        public int getRoundingMode()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the defined rounding mode. This influences the precision of the divide-operation.
        Returns:
        the rounding mode.
        See Also:
        BigDecimal.divide(java.math.BigDecimal, int)
      • setRoundingMode

        public void setRoundingMode​(int roundingMode)
        Deprecated.
        Defines the rounding mode. This influences the precision of the divide-operation.
        Parameters:
        roundingMode - the rounding mode.

      • getScale

        public int getScale()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the scale for the divide-operation. The scale influences the precision of the division.
        Returns:
        the scale.
      • setScale

        public void setScale​(int scale)
        Deprecated.
        Defines the scale for the divide-operation. The scale influences the precision of the division.
        Parameters:
        scale - the scale.
      • getDividend

        public String getDividend()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the field used as dividend by the function.

        The field name corresponds to a column name in the report's data-row.

        Returns:
        The field name.
      • getDivisor

        public String getDivisor()
        Deprecated.
        Returns the field used as divisor by the function.

        The field name corresponds to a column name in the report's data-row.

        Returns:
        The field name.
      • setDividend

        public void setDividend​(String dividend)
        Deprecated.
        Sets the field name to be used as dividend for the function.

        The field name corresponds to a column name in the report's data-row.

        Parameters:
        dividend - the field name.
      • setDivisor

        public void setDivisor​(String divisor)
        Deprecated.
        Sets the field name to be used as divisor for the function.

        The field name corresponds to a column name in the report's data-row.

        Parameters:
        divisor - the field name.
      • getValue

        public Object getValue()
        Deprecated.
        Return the current function value.

        The value is calculated as the quotient of two columns: the dividend column and the divisor column. If the divisor is zero, the return value is "n/a";

        Returns:
        The quotient
