Dexterity code to make an action instead of printing specific GP default report like "SOP Blank Invoice Form"

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member Microsoft Employee

Hi,

I am trying to write a dexterity code to make an action (e.g. warning "Printing SOP Blank Invoice Form"; ) instead of printing specific GP default report like "SOP Blank Invoice Form".

I am not sure which trigger I should use, and what would be the piece of code to fire this up.

Also, what would be the function which will close the report form before it starts. reject script; or Report_End() does not work.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hany

    Mariano,
     
    Do you know if the parameters for this procedure changed between this post and version 18.6.1728?  I'm getting an error 2 when registering a procedure trigger using these parameters.  It worked in a previous version, but not in 18.6.1728.
     
    Or can you point me to any documentation that lists the parameters of procedures in the current version?
     
    Thank you!

    Registering trigger against "SOP_DP_Print_Forms" wouldn't help you, because once it is called you can not reject the printing process. You can try this.

    l_result = Trigger_RegisterProcedure(script SOP_DP_Print_Forms,
TRIGGER_AFTER_ORIGINAL, script TriggerScript);
if l_result <> SY_NOERR then
	warning "Procedure trigger registration failed";
end if;

    TriggerScript

local integer i;

i=GetReportID (SOP_INVOICE,1,false) of form SOP_Print_Options;


if Resource_GetResourceName(0, 23, i)="SOP Blank Invoice Form" then

	warning "call your report";
	reject script;
end if;

     

    Since you have to call your SSRS report, why not try this.
    Register a trigger on pre of Print Button of SOP Print Option window.

    check if SOP Blank Invoice is selected then print you SSRS report and reject script.

    Hany,

    Sorry if I misunderstood your original question. The procedure signature for the SOP_DP_Print_Forms (GP 2016 R2) is as follows:

    { Procedure: SOP_DP_Print_Forms }
in		integer					IN_Print_Group_Box;
in		integer					IN_Type;
in		'SOP Number'				IN_Doc;
in		'Batch Number'				IN_Batch;

in		date				        IN_Start_Doc_Date,
							IN_End_Doc_Date;
in		'Batch Number'				IN_Start_Batch,
							IN_End_Batch;
in		'SOP Status'				IN_Start_SOP_Status,
							IN_End_SOP_Status;
in		integer					IN_Doc_Sort;
in		integer					IN_File_Source;
in		integer					IN_Match_Packing_Slip;
in		integer					IN_Match_Picking_Ticket;
in		boolean					IN_Print_PS_Line_Comments;
in		boolean					IN_Print_PT_Line_Comments;
in		boolean					IN_Print_PS_Per_Site;

    Mariano, Thank you for your response.

    All what I need to do is to create an action when printing specific report. For example, I want to print an SSRS report of a SOP invoice and ignore printing the GP default report (SOP Blank Invoice Form). My question is how to trigger the action of printing this report (no Trigger_Register for report writer reports). I found the procedure "SOP_DP_Print_Forms" which calls the SOP reports and it looks like that I can use it to achieve my purpose (reject original script and calling the SSRS report). Since this procedure works for both "SOP Blank Invoice Form" and "SOP Blank History Invoice Form", I want to be specific and determine which report is being printed. I created a "Trigger_RegisterProcedure" which calling the script that has all required parameters as per the GP SDK, then I would know which report is being called by getting the value of the passed parameters.  Unfortunately, the trigger is not registered due to an error.  I took a Log Script of the Print Sales Invoice and noticed in the log, that the SOP_DP_Print_Forms has 2 more parameters than what is given in the SDK. I tried to fill the missing ones but no luck (This is GP 2016 R2).

    Any idea how I can register the "SOP_DP_Print_Forms" procedure..?

    Thank you

    The first question is a bit tricky as there are two Report Destination windows: one in the Dynamics.dic dictionary and one in the Dex.dic dictionary. For the one in the Dex dictionary, you would have to use the Trigger_RegisterFocusByName() function to set the trigger against the OK button - the Dex.dic dictionary is product Id 1.  For the one in the Dynamics dictionary, well, that's pretty easy peasy!

    As for your second question, re: closing the report before it starts, once the run report statement is executed, I don't know that you can prevent the report from not being displayed. At least, I haven't found a way.
