Posted on by antiqua 15

Hello.

I'm trying to make a pageextension. Its parent page does not have sourcetable. 

I want to make a report print button in the page and get a package no in the page as a filter (reference record).

I cannot find a way to get a value from the page without source table. 

Is it possible in Business Central?

    Hi Verma,

    If a parent page has source table, as I know, I can use like CS_PackageNo.SetRange(CS_PackageNo."No.", Rec."No.");

    But it comes syntax error. So, I tried like "CurrPage.GetRecord(CS_PackageNo);" and CS_PackageNo.SetRange(CS_PackageNo."No.", CS_PackageNo."No.");

    Of course, it has no luck.

    Here is the code.

    pageextension 70138 PackLineScanningPageExt extends "LAX Pack Line Scanning RTC"

    {

       layout

       {

       }

       actions

       {

           addafter(Printing)

           {

               action(CS_PackingList)

               {

                   ApplicationArea = All;

                   Caption = 'Print Packing List';

                   ToolTip = 'Print Packing List';

                   Image = PrintChecklistReport;

                   trigger OnAction()

                   var

                       CS_PackageNo: Record "LAX Package";

                   begin

                       CurrPage.GetRecord(CS_PackageNo);

                       CS_PackageNo.SetRange(CS_PackageNo."No.", CS_PackageNo."No.");                    

                       Report.RunModal(Report::"TRU Sales Order Packing List-T", true, true, CS_PackageNo);

                   end;

               }

           }

    }

    For a reference, the parent page is like this.

    page 14050138 "LAX Pack Line Scanning RTC"

    {

       Caption = 'Pack Line Scanning';

       PageType = Card;

       PromotedActionCategories = 'New,Process,Report,Info';

       layout

       {

           area(content)

           {

               group(Scanning)

               {

                   Caption = 'Scanning';

                   field("Package.""No."""; Package."No.")

                   {

                       ApplicationArea = All;

                       Caption = 'Package No.';

                       Editable = false;

                   }

               }

           }

       }

    }

    Ok, in that case your can try to create Global Procedure in the Page with parameter and call that function in the Action button.

    See if it works for you.

    Dear Verma,

    Thank you for your reply.

    Unfortunately, the parent page belongs to a third party module, so it is read only.

    In that case, any detours?
