what is render variable

Answer / vanthian
As far as i know
Render variales are generally created to conditionally
render a particular page or chart or list or block etc...
Though the purpose of the render variable is to hide the
particular item..we can't say that it is use to hide a
particular item...
Consider a scenario..
You have created two list reports for two countries
List1 is for both country1 and country2
List2 is for country 2 alone
List1 is created from the query1
List2 is created from the query2
Now u create a conditional string variable called 'Country'
which uses country name as a parameter
Now u associate Variable 'Country' as render variable for
List1 and List2
Now whenever u run the report..when u select country1 then
automatically the two queries will be rendered to the two
list and the two lists will be displayed
But when u select Country2 as parameter then only Query2
will be rendered and the list2 will be displayed in cognos
viewer window...
Note...
When u use Conditional variable u r just hiding the output
from the user..but in the backend the two queries will be
processed by cognos....hence ur precious time will be
wasted..
But when u r using the render variable only the Queries
which satisfies the parameter will be rendered and hence
the other queries will not be processed in backend by cognos
I hope this helps you

HTML or PDF or CSV format then
1)Create 3 pages in your report
2)every page conatins some specific data
3)name these pages as HTML PDF CSV
4)create a String vaiable with 3 values as HTML PDF and CSV
5)now in string variable put expression as .....
case
when ReportOutput() 'HTML' then 'HTML'
when ReportOutput() 'PDF' then 'PDF'
when ReportOutput() 'CSV' then 'CSV'
end
6)now go the page named HTML and select page object
7)in properties pane click on Render Variable select that
string variable
