How to set a value to the Request filter in a report?

Posted on by CDsilva 4,188

Hi,

The requirement is such that on a button click on customer page, an email containing the report in a .pdf file will be sent to the customer.Now here the report has request page with request filter as No. 

I run my runrequest page for the user to enter start date and end date but No field is left blank. The request paramneters are saved as xml parameters and then using stream email is sent. Here I want No to be set as the customer No.

I tried using tha function and setting it onPreDataitem but it didn't work. any suggestions?

    Not sure if I have well understood but if the report has Customer table as sourceexpression you can pre-filter the Customer table and then pass the record as SetTableView to the report.

    A second possible way (more elegant) is to create a function in the report itself for setting the Customer No. So you can call YouReport.SetCustomerNo('XXX') and in then in this report function set the filter accordingly.

    Hi!

    Create report variable Report50011

    Report50011.SETTABLEVIEW(CustomerTable);
XmlParameters := Report50011.RUNREQUESTPAGE();

//your code

Report50011.SAVEAS(XmlParameters, REPORTFORMAT::Pdf, Ostream);

    Hey Steffano,

    I tried with second option of creating a function but it didn't work.

    SETTABLEVIEW worked perfectly. Thank you Andry and Steffano
