How to print the Customer Statements External(CustAccountStatementExt) Report to pdf through X++ code?

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Krushitha 125

Hi,

I am trying to print the 'CustAccountStatementExt' Report to a pdf file through X++ code.

Here is the code I am using. I am trying to create 1 pdf file per customer at a UNC path.

PrintJobSettings                 patPrintJobSettings;
Args                                    args = new Args();

CustTable                           CustTable;

ReportRun                          ReportRun;

SysReportRun                    sysReportRun;
;

patPrintJobSettings = new PrintJobSettings();

CustTable = CustTable::find('00001');

patPrintJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
patPrintJobSettings.preferredTarget(PrintMedium::File);
patPrintJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF);
patPrintJobSettings.preferredFileFormat(PrintFormat::PDF);
patPrintJobSettings.fileName("\\\\VENSANDBOX\\test\\test\\test.pdf");

args.name(reportstr(CustAccountStatementExt));
args.record(CustTable);
args.object(patPrintJobSettings);

new MenuFunction(menuitemoutputstr(CustAccountStatementExt), MenuItemType::Output).run(args);

The problem I am facing with this, is that it is opening a request form, the form that opens when we run the 'CustAccountStatementExt' MenuItem. But, I dont want any user interface. I want to be able to provide the parameters for the report through x++ code through this class I am writing and get the parameters through the dialog for this class as this class extends runbase batch.

Any help is appreciated!

    Take a look at Classes\EPSendDocument\makeDocument.  This gives an excellent generalized example of how to generate any report as a PDF with no user input at all.  Note that the EPSendDocument class runs on the server, even though it saves the file on the client (and the specified file path should be appropriate for the client).  I have tried to make the same code run on the client, but there are certain limitations that in the end make no sense (for example, documents with 2 or more pages will often fail on the client).

    Yes there is a way to do this

    1) Go to custAccountStatementExtController class

    2) controllerObj.parmReportContract().parmRDpContract( xobject);

    xobject is the contract objects which has set and get methods for all the DataProvider parameters

    ie CustAccounStatementExtContract class object in this case

    similarly set Rdl contracts also using similar construct.

    how to do it is explained below::

    now in you x++ code create the Xobject before calling the report. Now send it in args .

    Now when you have args.object() pointing to such a class obejcts you use this object to set the report contract as explained in 2) point. in the controller main method itself.

    Now since the report is a document report and has printMgmt completely implemented in ax 2012

    go to the output report method in the above mentioned controller class .Now set  using this kind of construct to set the print destinations over here controllerObj.parmReportContract().PrintContracts(yObject)

    this yObject is printDestinationsettings object.

    you can have for same customer multiple copies and one orginal. For each node runPrintMgmt iterates once. which call ouputreport once in every iteration. If you override in outputReports() method it will be applicable for all the nodes in copy,orginal for this document.

    Hope this helps.

    Now once this is done you can use the mailer code to send as attachment.

    For any thing else you can also reach me at
