In a Classic client report layout, when a Boolean value appears on a report, the value is printed as "yes" or "no" in the target language. In a client report definition (RDLC) report layout, when a Boolean value appears on a report, the value is printed as "true" or "false" in the target language.

In some cases, you may want to change the printed value of a Boolean variable in an RDLC report layout to "yes" or "no" instead of "true" or "false." For example, you may want RDLC report layouts to use the same wording as the reports that you designed in a previous version of Microsoft Dynamics NAV. You may also have Classic and RDLC report layouts and require the same wording in both layouts.

Before you begin this procedure, you must create a layout suggestion for the report. For more information, see How to: Create a Layout Suggestion.
