Calling a report from a class

Report

Posted on by Jim Richardson

Hello,

I'm calling a report (extend ObjectRun) from a class (Extends RunBaseReport) from the run method with the following code:

while SELECT myTable {

args = new Args (reportStr (myReport));

args.caller (this);
args.record (myTable);

rpt = new ReportRun (args);

rpt.printJobSettings ().setTarget (printMedium::File);
rpt.printJobSettings ().format (printFormat::PDF);
rpt.printJobSettings ().fileName (shipListShipToTbl.filename);

rpt.report ().interactive (false);
rpt.query ().interactive (false);

rpt.init ();
rpt.run ();

}

Is there a way to wait for the report to finish before processing the record? And receive status, i.e. terminate the loop if the report fails from some reason? Unfortunately I can't or prefer not to modify the called report.

RE: Calling a report from a class

Jacob,

Thank you for your response, although the light went off and I realized the call to "rpt.run ()" is a synchronous call. Therefore, I don't need to wait, the call doesn't return until the run method is finished.

Now the question is how to prevent the lastValueElementName method from calling the report.

RE: Calling a report from a class

Maybe you could try:

while SELECT myTable {

args = new Args (reportStr (myReport));

args.caller (this);

args.record (myTable);

rpt = new ReportRun (args);

rpt.printJobSettings ().setTarget (printMedium::File);

rpt.printJobSettings ().format (printFormat::PDF);

rpt.printJobSettings ().fileName (shipListShipToTbl.filename);

rpt.report ().interactive (false);

rpt.query ().interactive (false);

try {

rpt.init ();

rpt.run ();

}

catch

{

break;

}

}

Mind you I haven't tried it.
