Copy Loop and Printing many copies of report

Posted on by Community Member

Hey guys!

So i have following problem, i have to add copy loop functionality to our Posted Sales Shipment Invoice report, and ive been doing HUGE research and red this https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/nav/2017/01/24/how-to-implement-a-copy-loop-in-word-report-layouts/ so many times and it still doesnt work. Im using RDLC as my report style.

So i decide ill try to copy copy loop from one of Microsoft reports, but it now generates report for like 2 minutes and displays only 1 page and page numbering doesnt reset. Here is what code looks like.

CopyLoop - OnPreDataItem()
NoOfLoops := ABS(NoOfCopies) + Cust."Invoice Copies" + 1;
IF NoOfLoops <= 0 THEN
NoOfLoops := 1;
CopyText := '';
SETRANGE(Number,1,NoOfLoops);
OutputNo := 1;

CopyLoop - OnAfterGetRecord()
IF Number > 1 THEN BEGIN
CopyText := Text003;
OutputNo += 1;
END;
CurrReport.PAGENO := 1;

Code In Layout

...Here is original code...

Shared NoOfCopies as integer

Public Function SetNoOfCopies(Value as integer)
NoOfCopies = Value
End Function

Public Function GetNoOfCopies() As integer
Return NoOfCopies
End Function

Also when it finish to generate the report some fields appear blank, but before i added copyloop they were filled with information...

I would suggest have a look at standard report no 206 Sale Invoice for more understanding

RE: Copy Loop and Printing many copies of report

You need to add few changes to the two parts in the report.

AL Code

RDL Layout

AL Code

I have pasted the AL Code screen shot for your perusal below and I've used the Sales Invoice Header Table for the example.

Add these Global Variables

NoOfCopies: Integer; NoOfLoops: Integer; CopyText: Text[30]; OutputNo: Integer;
CopyDescLbl: Label 'Copy of Original 1';
CopyDescLbl2: Label 'Copy of Original 2';

Add following coding accordingly

CopyLoop - OnPreDataItem

CopyLoop - OnAfterGetRecord

As you can see, I have added CopyLoop and PageLoop as a dataitem after the Sales Invoice Header Dataitem. This is logic that we used for C/AL. However, Syntax changes.

Here I have defined a value to NoOfCopies as 2 in the OnPreReport Trigger as I only need two copies with the original document. If you need to change the copy count, you can add that field to the Request Page and type it manually. Moreover, it displays two different texts in the two copies if the document is printed previously. if it is printing for the first time it will not display the particular text.

2. RDL Layout

Go to the Report Layout and Insert a List by right click on the empty space as shown below.

Then add a group to the list on OutputNo and Pagebreak for the same as shown in below,

Now add your report body inside the List ad we are done.

Please do make the answer as a verified answer if you are satisfied
