Error in prePromptModifyContract() Controller Method

Posted on by Houda Chkoundali 147

Hi,

I`ve been struggling with a problem. I need to launch a SSRS report from a form. For this reason I`m using a Controller class, a Contract class and a Data Provider Class.

So I Implement an Output  menu item wich has a Class as an ObjectType Property and wich is MyController.

 Controller class simply gets Args from caller and sets parameters in  Contract class. The problem is that I can not add any parameter in my Controller.

So I had an error : HC_MonthlyDecContract object not initialised.

Any Help Please?

Thx,

    The code above pasted by Pintu is expecting a record buffer in the caller argument.

    Again, the menu item should be used on a menuitembutton on your form, for which you need to override the clicked method in order to pass in additional arguments however you are expecting them.

    Here is the piece of code,

    protected void prePromptModifyContract()

    {

       YourContractClass       contract;

       YourTable                    table;

        ;

       table= this.parmArgs().record();

       contract             = this.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract() as YourContractClass       ;

       contract.parmReclId(table.RecId);//Or any Unique Field you have.

       super();

    }

    By Using this Id, populate your temporary table in DP class.

    Hope it works.

    Thank you Pintu. Would you please clarify more. How can I pass RecId from Args?

    In my case, the report is generated directly from a menuitem So no need to use this code? if true, so the message error persists again and I can't found solution

    Thnx

    That solution is for using the report from a form, and you would override the clicked method of a form menuitem button control.

    Thank You Vilmos. Actually I dont understand where I place the code

    "Args args = new Args();

    args.record(BHSDataTable);

    new MenuFunction(menuitemOutputStr(BHSMenuItem), MenuItemType::Output).run(args);

    "

    It mentionned on the clicked() method of the button you will use to run your reportbut I dont know where :(

    Thnx

    Here is a great example on how to do this. You are missing a couple of steps most likely where you pre-load the contract with arguments, and also you have to override the clicked method on the menuitembutton on your form and pass in the arguments you need:

    Create one parm method() in contract class for recId. Override method prePromptModifyContract() of Controller class and pass the recId from args.
