HI @rp@n,

What is specific SO? So, I think you need to filter or pass parameter.

If you need any parameters, you need to create contract class to hold parameters.

Hi @rp@n,

Check the article www.schweda.net/blog_ax.php

The idea is to use args to get selected record (or records) and store this infromation in contract to pass it to service class.

Sergei,

i have create controller and DP class as of now for my report.

*** here contract class is required to get the selected record from form and to pass in to DP class to manipulate further to print the particular SO in report rite?

Hi @rp@n,

Contract class is the only way to pass parameters from controller class to DP class and active record is only available in controller class.

Hi @rp@n,

Let's take standard classes as example LedgerJournalPreviewController, LedgerJournalPreviewContract and LedgerJournalPreviewDP.

In LedgerJournalPreviewContract there is a field journalNumber and related parm method. It's used to store information about source record. In your case, you can use SalesId or RecId for the SalesTable record.

In LedgerJournalPreviewController there is a method prePromptModifyContract and in this method source record is fetched from this.parmArgs().record() and key field value passed to contract class (check LedgerJournalTable case).

In DP class, you just fetch the value from contract and use it to find needed data (order, line and so on).

Hi @rp@n,

If you take a look at the place where prePromptModifyContract is executed (SrsReportRunController.startOperation) you will find an explanation of method purpose.

// call hook to change the contract before prompt is called.

So it means you put some values to contract before the dialog appears (as contract used in the dialog as well and some values can be shown there)

The same situation is with preRunModifyContract, if you take a look at xmlDoc comment for method in class SrsReportRunController

Provides the opportunity to modify the contract before the report is run.

It means that you can use this method to modify contract values after user closes dialog, but before report processing itself.
