Hello,

I am currently transferring reports from AX [old technology] to SSRS and I have a problem. A certain report is run from 5 different forms in the system, for example: from BOMTable , CustInvoiceTrans or CustInvoiceJour.
Is it possible to create an SSRS report in the same way?

Suppose I have a Controller, Contract and Data Provider class. In the Controller class, I can check what the caller is, but how to pass it to the DP class?

I know how to pass a single parameter/value. But I have a problem passing the whole caller. Is it possible to do this? Would it be easier to create 5 separate reports?
Can someone give me a suggestions or an example?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Shooowtek,

You can pass the unique field of the table to the DC class where you can get the same in the DP class.

For example CustTable will have AccountNum as unique field - Create an parm method with AccountNum as return type.

Later on the DP class you can add a select statement to get the whole buffer.

protected void prePromptModifyContract() { Contract=this.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract() ; CustTable cust =this.parmArgs().record(); Contract.parmAccountNum(cust.AccountNum); super(); }

In the Dp class you can get the account num field similar to the value you get it for other parameters.

Thanks,
