Dear Experts,

I have to print posted Packing Slip from Packing slip journal using X++.

From my research, i found the code :

CustPackingSlipJour custPackingSlipJour;
PackingSlipId packingSlipId;
RecordSortedList list = new RecordSortedList(TableNum(CustPackingSlipJour));
PrintJobSettings printJobSettings;
MenuFunction menuFunction = new MenuFunction(menuitemoutputstr(SalesPackingSlip), MenuItemType::Output);
Args args = new Args();
SalesFormLetter_PackingSlip salesFormLetter = SalesFormLetter::construct(DocumentStatus::PackingSlip);
;
packingSlipId = "DO-0001";

select custPackingSlipJour
where custPackingSlipJour.PackingSlipId == packingSlipId;

list.ins(custPackingSlipJour);

args.object(list);

args.caller(salesFormLetter);

printJobSettings = new PrintJobSettings(salesFormLetter.printerSettingsFormLetter(PrintSetupOriginalCopy::Original));
printJobSettings.setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
printJobSettings.preferredTarget(PrintMedium::File);
printJobSettings.format(PrintFormat::PDF);
printJobSettings.preferredFileFormat(PrintFormat::PDF);
printJobSettings.fileName(@"\\C:\Test\PackingSlip\PackingSlip.pdf");

salesFormLetter.updatePrinterSettingsFormLetter(printJobSettings.packPrintJobSettings());

menuFunction.run(args);

It works but will only print to screen and not in pdf file.

Does anyone have any suggestion to print Packing Slip to PDF file?

Thanks in advance.

calling reports by menu items has been an old way. when you are using x++ you can make use of controller class. Here you go with x++ code.

#define.FileExtensionPDF(".pdf") str reportFilePath; SrsReportDataContract contract; SalesPackingSlipContract rdpContractClass; CustPackingSlipJour tblCustPackingSlipJour; // Create a controller to run the report. SrsReportRunController controller = new SrsReportRunController(); // set the report name and design to be run controller.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SalesPackingSlip, Report)); // suppress the parameter dialog as this is to be run by the batch service controller.parmShowDialog(true); // choose to save the executed report as a pdf file /*You can change path to save the report in below lline of codde. It goes as 1st parameter in bellow line*/ reportFilePath = System.IO.Path::Combine(System.IO.Path::GetTempPath(), ssrsReportStr(SalesPackingSlip, Report) + #FileExtensionPDF); controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File); controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF); controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().fileName(reportFilePath); controller.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings().overwriteFile(true); // Set any required parameter values here by first getting the report contract. contract = controller.parmReportContract(); // And then fill in that contract based on the contract type (Rdl or Rdp) // Example of using an Rdp class specific data contract rdpContractClass = contract.parmRdpContract() as SalesPackingSlipContract; // Set the required parameter tblCustPackingSlipJour.clear(); /*i am always taking firstonly for demo purpose, you can pass needed recid(s)*/ select firstOnly RecId from tblCustPackingSlipJour; rdpContractClass.parmRecordId(tblCustPackingSlipJour.RecId); // run the report controller.runReport();

Try using following code to generate report in pdf

SrsReportRunController ssrsController = new SrsReportRunController();

SalesPackingSlipContract contract = new SalesPackingSlipContract();

SRSPrintDestinationSettings printerSettings;

PackingSlipId packingSlipId;

custPackingSlipJour custPackingSlipJour;

System.Exception e;

try

{

packingSlipId = 'DO-0001';

select custPackingSlipJour

where custPackingSlipJour.PackingSlipId == packingSlipId;

contract.parmRecordId(custPackingSlipJour.RecId);

ssrsController.parmReportName(ssrsReportStr(SalesPackingSlip, Report));

ssrsController.parmExecutionMode(SysOperationExecutionMode::Synchronous);

ssrsController.parmShowDialog(false);

ssrsController.parmReportContract().parmRdpContract(contract);

//link the printer settings to the controller

printerSettings = ssrsController.parmReportContract().parmPrintSettings();

//print to pdf and always overwrite if the file exists

printerSettings.printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);

printerSettings.fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);

printerSettings.overwriteFile(true);

printerSettings.fileName(filename); //Speicfy your file name

//run & save the report

ssrsController.runReport();

}

catch (Exception::CLRError)

{

e = ClrInterop::getLastException();

while (e)

{

info(e.get_Message());

e = e.get_InnerException();

}

info(strFmt("%1",e));

}
