NAS calling report

bobnavision

Hi,

Can we call a report from code unit 1 using NAS?
This report is set to processing only and requestformrequired to false.

I'd have to try to make sure, I would typically write a codeunit to do anything in NAS. The only benefit of using a report over a codeunit is that you don't have to program the looping mechanism, and that's not really difficult.

Hi,

My Problem is client do not have Codeunit on their license.
I am not using any dataitem on report. I am just calling the function on that report.

So I guess we should be asking you then... does it work?

I think it works, but the NAS starts codeunit 1 that starts the report. Once the report is finished, it returns to codeunit 1 that exits. And the NAS remains active, but no Navision code can be run anymore.
So you would have to make an endless loop (with a sleep in it to avoid that it takes up all the processor) in the report (or also in codeunit 1). In this loop, you should read a NAS-setup-record (new table to make) in which you put a boolean to tell the NAS to continue or to stop. If you keep the endless loop, you are not able to stop the service.
