Variables Empty After Running Request Page on a Report

Posted on by 30

Hello Experts, 

Good day. 

I have created a custom button on a default page of BC365, this button runs a custom report too. See code below 

action("AR Voucher")
{
    trigger OnAction();
    var
        rptJournalVoucher: Report "Journal Voucher";
        GenJnlLine: Record "Gen. Journal Line";
    begin
        Clear(rptJournalVoucher);
        GenJnlLine.Reset;
        GenJnlLine.SetRange("Journal Template Name", Rec."Flexie Temp. Name");
        GenJnlLine.SetRange("Journal Batch Name", Rec."Flexie Temp. Batch Name");
        GenJnlLine.SetRange("Document No.", Rec."Flexie Doc. No.");
        rptJournalVoucher.SetTableview(GenJnlLine);
        rptJournalVoucher.SetJournalTypeAndTitle(2, 'AR Voucher');
        rptJournalVoucher.UseThisTable(Rec);
        rptJournalVoucher.RunModal();
    end;
}

SetJournalTypeAndTitle function inside custom report

   procedure SetJournalTypeAndTitle(P_JournalType: Option " ",Purchase,Sale,Settlement; P_ReportTitle: Text[50])
    begin
        optJournalType := P_JournalType;
        txtReportTitle := P_ReportTitle;
    end;

UseThisTable  function inside custom  report
procedure UseThisTable(var P_TempGLEntry: Record "G/L Entry" temporary)
begin
    GLEntry1.Copy(P_TempGLEntry, true);
end;
After passing the values on these functions on a custom report, upon running the request page. These variables have values,

  • GLEntry1 = (have 3 records on it. by the way this is a temporary table)
  • optJournalType = 'SALES'
  • txtReportTtile = 'AR Voucher'

Now, after inputted manual text values on request page (Prepared by) and clicking preview, inside trigger OnPreReport(), the 3 values are now empty.

  • GLEntry1 = 0 record/data
  • optJournalType = ''
  • txtReportTtile = ''

In short, after running  the request page, these variables are being cleared. 

I really don't know why these variables are being  emptied without changing or  passing  new values  on  it. 

Also I noticed that as I set the USEREQUESTPAGE as FALSE inside the custom  report, it runs perfectly and the said variables above works fine and variables not being cleared. 

Does anyone know what are the possible reason for this kind of behavior?

    Hello,

    We currently do not have dedicated Dev support via the Dynamics 365 Business Central forums, but I wanted to provide you some additional resources to assist.  If you need assistance with debugging or coding I would recommend discussing this on one of our communities.

    www.yammer.com/dynamicsnavdev

    dynamicsuser.net/.../developers

    I will open this up to the community in case they have something to add.

    Thanks
