Print a report from C/AL

Report

Posted on by Community Member

I'm new in the Dynamic nav world so excuse my lack of knowledge.

I've create a new report (works perfectly) and now i want to create a button to call this report.

I have create an action to call the report and now i try with C/AL code to run the report. I have try to use the REPORT.RUNMODAL fonction but i need the report ID. I found the table 77 Report Selections but i don't understand the "Usage" fields.

So here's my question :

How can i print from C/AL code without the report ID ?
How do i get the Report ID ?
How i insert information in the "Report Selections" table ?

Thanks for the answers

To print the report or save as pdf with report ID, you need to specify that report ID in the Report Selections based on the usage type. You can search for Report Selections in the client and specify your report ID if it is a custom report and then use that in your code something like this

ReportSelection.RESET;
ReportSelection.SETRANGE(Usage,ReportSelection.Usage::"S.Invoice");
IF ReportSelection.FINDFIRST THEN
REPORT.RUN(ReportSelection."Report ID",FALSE,FALSE,SalesInvHeader);

Check the codeunit 82 for example

There is no usage type called Manifest, you need add that to the Usage Type of the Report Selection table or you could add a new integer field on the Sales & Receivables or Purchases & Payables Setup and use that instead of Report Selections.

Report Selection Table but I would rather add a new integer field on one of the setup tables, if the the report is customized version of the standard report then you can use the Report Selections to specify your Report No.

3 easy ways to run the report.

1. REPORT.RUN(number);

number(or report ID it's number of your report in object designer. 50000 for example).

Also you can add here extra parameters:

REPORT.RUN(number, UseRequestWindow, UseSystemPrinter, Record);

Last 3 parameters are not mandatory, you can only set number of report.

2. Create local variable with type Report and with id = your report number.

Add code:

MyReportVariable.RUN;

on your action

3. And the simplest way:

Open your action properties, find RunObject property and type there Report XXXXX, there XXXXX - your report number.

No coding at all.

Hi

I finally find the solution how ton insert a new "usage" in the table "Report Selections"

Thanks for helping me :)

When I open the table in design i found this

All the permitted value for the field "USAGE" are stock in the properties "OptionString".

So i Add the value "Manifest" and work perfectly.
