Splitting a report into two

kolaboy · 2007-07-23

Hi Experts,
How can one split a report into two. I have a printer that cuts receipt once, and now i want it to cut it twice. I guess splitting the report into two the printer will cut it twice at the end of each report.

So,how can i split a report into two. Can someone explain the steps for me. Please!!
Thanks.

Can you explain a little better what exactly you want to do.
This is quite unclear:

I have a printer that cuts receipt once, and now i want it to cut it twice

Have you tried CurrReport.NEWPAGE?

What i mean is i am having a printer that can only be set to cut a receipt only once. When a client post and print, the receipt is printed once and cuts at the end of the print job, hence giving only one copy of the receipt.

If you want to have two copies of the receipt and when the printer is asked to print two copies, it print two copies but cuts the receipt at the end of the second copy, hence cutting once.

The client wants to have two copies of the receipt and wants the printer to cut the receipt at the end of each copy thereby giving two copies which are cut, hence the printer cuts twice. This is what the client wants. I hope you understand now.
Thanks.

I dunno exact way of doing this in navision

But, a general advice is to excute the print command twice instead of printing 2 copies.

The printer may be set to cut at the end of the print job, rather than at end of each page, like in some fax machines.

The problem is the receipt prints when the cashier post the payment. when the payments are posted, they go to the Cust. ledger Entry Table.

You don't see any payment when they are posted hence you will not be about to post again to have another print job. Unless you enter another payment. you can't print twice for one posting. you can only go to the copy of the customers reciept to have a second copy.

i suggested this method, but they said its too tedious. they want it print two copies in one posting and the printer should cut the receipt after each copy.

Thanks.

Hi all,
I am looking for a code that can make a report to copy twice when printed.

the report is created from Cust. ledger Entry Table.
Any idea Please?
Thanks.

Create an outer loop dataitem. You will find this implemented in various standard reports, e.g. 206 Sales Invoice. Have a look at CopyLoop.

HI
I don't know where this report is called from but maybe you could create
a processing only report with the filters set and then from this report
call the printing report

eg
from posting call processing report to call print report

in C/AL maybe something like this

Post & Print routine

Processreport.RUNMODAL(Rec); // Rec has all the filters set

Processreport
OnAFterGetRecord
FOR I := 1 to 2 DO
PrintReport.RUN(Rec):

Hope this helps

You did not set the DataItemLinkReference between the COPYLOOP (parent) and your regular dataitem (child, indented)

You did not set the DataItemLinkReference between the COPYLOOP (parent) and your regular dataitem (child, indented)

I did not understand the above can u explain it step by step to my please.
DataItemLinkReference = <Cust. ledger entry> This is what is there.

Right now i am using requist form but the second copy is not picking up the Data. only heading is captured, the body is not.

Any idea. please?
Thanks

repost the code but this time use CODE not QUOTE and make sure it keeps all spaces etc. The above can not be imported.

You have the wrong order, COPYLOOP has to be the outer loop

COPYLOOP
--Cust. Ledger Entry

Everything which has to be printed repeatedly has to be inside the COPYLOOP, that's the reason why there is also a PAGELOOP for the header information in report 206.

you don't need coding to do this, create a second report that is a copy of the first, then on the setup reports selection for the invoice, put the second report on the list.

example would be

in 4.0 menu

administration --> application setup --> sales & marketing --> report selection

for your report set sequence 1 as the first receipt, and sequence 2 as the second report

each will print, and since they are separate reports it should do what you want,

if your receipt is not triggered from this, you can copy the functionality to do it.

this is what we do for our credit card reciepts, the first report is the customer copy, and the second is our copy. we modify the second to say file copy.

Still, they are not linked together regarding filters etc. and the request form pops up a second time. The report selection is nice to chain but also means either double user interaction or additional programming to take the filters from the first report (which is already finished once the second is started)

This is why I like to point people to what they already have: the existing Navision objects provide lots of interesting features and it makes live easier to stay with the standard, at least as near as possible.

Just my $0.02.

Todro,
Thanks for that reply. It is now getting the two copies when i specify 2 in the request form.
Can it be specify in the code so that whenever one click on Post and Print, it prints the two copies authomatically without using the request form to specify the no. of copies?

I don't want to inconvient somebody by using the request form where there are long queues
please any idea.
Thanks.

depending on how the report is run, you can specify not to show the request form:

From the C/SIDE help:

REPORT.RUN(Number [, ReqWindow] [, SystemPrinter] [, Record])
REPORT.RUNMODAL(Number [, ReqWindow] [, SystemPrinter] [, Record])

ReqWindow

Data type: boolean

Tells the system whether it should display the request window for the report. The request window is part of the report object.

If you have a look at codeunit 82 (will be called e.g. when hitting Post+Print in SalesOrder) you will see, that it is already implemented this way in function PrintReport:

PrintReport(ReportUsage : Integer)
ReportSelection.RESET;
ReportSelection.SETRANGE(Usage,ReportUsage);
ReportSelection.FIND('-');
REPEAT
  ReportSelection.TESTFIELD("Report ID");
  CASE ReportUsage OF
    ReportSelection.Usage::"SM.Invoice":
      REPORT.RUN(ReportSelection."Report ID",FALSE,FALSE,SalesInvHeader);
    ReportSelection.Usage::"SM.Credit Memo":
      REPORT.RUN(ReportSelection."Report ID",FALSE,FALSE,SalesCrMemoHeader);
    ReportSelection.Usage::"S.Invoice":
      REPORT.RUN(ReportSelection."Report ID",FALSE,FALSE,SalesInvHeader);
    ReportSelection.Usage::"S.Cr.Memo":
      REPORT.RUN(ReportSelection."Report ID",FALSE,FALSE,SalesCrMemoHeader);
    ReportSelection.Usage::"S.Shipment":
      REPORT.RUN(ReportSelection."Report ID",FALSE,FALSE,SalesShptHeader);
    ReportSelection.Usage::"S.Ret.Rcpt.":
