Changing Report Layout in a Events Subscriber Procedure

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Leo99 85
Hi ,
I have an Event Subscriber that gets called for Drop Shipment function. Inside the event Subscriber I would like to change the layout of the standard Purchase order. The Report :: line is showing me an error. Can someone please take a look at it. The error says "end expected"
[EventSubscriber(ObjectType::Table, Database::"Purchase Line", 'OnValidateVariantCodeOnBeforeDropShipmentError', '', true, true)]
    local procedure dropShipProcedure()
    begin
        Report:: "Standard Purchase - Order" = './layout/DropshipPurchaseOrder.docx';
        Message('This is a drop shipment');
    end;
Regards.

    If what you are trying to do is the execute the report you must use the report.execute or report.print commands.

    Please see this doc:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../reportinstance-execute-method

    The report = method will not be recognized i think.

    It won't let me execute during that event.

    The following AL methods are limited during write transactions because one or more tables will be locked:

    Form.RunModal is not allowed in write transactions.

    Codeunit.Run is allowed in write transactions only if the return value is not used. For example, 'OK := Codeunit.Run()' is not allowed.

    Report.RunModal is allowed in write transactions only if 'RequestForm = false'. For example, 'Report.RunModal(...,false)' is allowed.

    XmlPort.RunModal is allowed in write transactions only if 'RequestForm = false'. For example, 'XmlPort.RunModal(...,false)' is allowed.

    Use the commit method to save the changes before this call, or structure the code differently.

    Contact your application developer for further assistance.

    Thanks for the reply
