public class ItemMinFunction

extends AbstractFunction

implements java.io.Serializable

A report function that calculates the minimum value of one field (column) from the TableModel. The function can be used in two ways:

• to calculate a minimum value for the entire report;
• to calculate a minimum value within a particular group;

This function expects its input values to be either java.lang.Number instances or Strings that can be parsed to java.lang.Number instances using a java.text.DecimalFormat.

The function undestands two parameters, the field parameter is required and denotes the name of an ItemBand-field which gets summed up.

The parameter group denotes the name of a group. When this group is started, the counter gets reseted to null.
