Forum Post: Table buffer is null on report display method

Hi All, In the report init() method getting the table buffer values based on some conditions. When i try to print the values in display method() , here the table buffer is showing null . Ex : init() { TableA a; str value; ; if(element.args()) { value = element.args().parm(); select a where a.filed1==value;// here the table buffer contains value } super(); } display Name custName() { return a.custName; // here while dubugging the table buffer (shows null) and printing the empty values in the report. } Note : I am using AX 4.0. Is this is the correct way or please do suggest the alternate way. Thanks in Advance !
