BurstRecipients () Returns the distribution list of burst recipients. IsBursting ('recipientName') Returns Boolean 1 (true) when the report will be distributed to the recipient; otherwise, returns Boolean 0 (false). ParamNames () Returns all parameter names. ParamName ('parameterName') Returns the parameter name of "parameterName". ParamDisplayValue ('parameterName') Returns a string that is the parameter display value of "parameterName". This function appears in the Recruitment Report sample report in the GO Data Warehouse (analysis) package. ParamValue ('parameterName') Returns the parameter value of "parameterName". ParamCount ('parameterName') Returns the parameter count of "parameterName". RowNumber () Returns the current row. PageNumber () Returns the current page number. PageCount () Returns the current page count. This function works only when the report output is Adobe® PDF or Microsoft® Excel. If you save the report output, this function works for all formats.

URLEncode ('text') Returns the URL encoded value of the input text. TOCHeadingCount ( headingLevel ) Returns the table of contents heading count for a specified heading level. IsAccessible() Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the report is run with the accessibility features enabled. Use this function as a variable expression with a conditional block to make your reports accessible. For example, you can add a list or crosstab equivalent to a chart in reports that are run with accessibility features enabled. IsBooklet() Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the report is a child report of a booklet; otherwise, returns Boolean 0 (false). ColumnNumber () Returns the current column number. IsCrosstabColumnNodeMember () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current node is a crosstab column node member. IsCrosstabRowNodeMember () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current node is a crosstab row node member. IsInnerMostCrosstabColumnNodeMember () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current node is an innermost crosstab column node member. IsInnerMostCrosstabRowNodeMember () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current node is an innermost crosstab row node member. IsLastInnerMostCrosstabColumnNodeMember () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current node is the last innermost crosstab column node member. IsLastInnerMostCrosstabRowNodeMember () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current node is the last innermost crosstab row node member. IsOuterMostCrosstabColumnNodeMember () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current node is an outermost crosstab column node member. IsOuterMostCrosstabRowNodeMember () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current node is an outermost crosstab row node member. IsFirstColumn () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current column is the first column. IsLastColumn () Returns Boolean 1 (true) if the current column is the last column. CubeName ( dimension ) Returns the name of the cube. "Dimension" specifies from which cube to retrieve the metadata. CubeDescription ( dimension ) Returns the description of the cube. "Dimension" specifies from which cube to retrieve the metadata. CubeCreatedOn ( dimension ) Returns the date and time when the cube was created. "Dimension" specifies from which cube to retrieve the metadata. If the dimension source is an IBM® Cognos® PowerCube (.mdc), the function returns a blank string because the initial creation date of a PowerCube is not maintained. CubeDataUpdatedOn ( dimension ) Returns the date time that data in the cube was last updated. "Dimension" specifies from which cube to retrieve the metadata. CubeSchemaUpdatedOn ( dimension ) Returns the date time that the cube schema was last updated. "Dimension" specifies from which cube to retrieve the metadata. CubeIsOptimized ( dimension ) Returns "true" if the cube is optimized. "Dimension" specifies from which cube to retrieve the metadata.
