 +
 +This method returns the current value of the report element with the specified name. The element must be either an element with a scriptlet attached (text or image) or a tag element, in which case the current value of the tag expression is retrieved. Each element in the report may be given a name in its Properties dialog. If the element’s name is not specified //**AwareIM**// generates its own name. If a scriptlet needs to access certain elements in the report it is a good idea to give such elements some meaningful names.
