how to save an report as xml file?

ganesh

hi everyone..
i'm facing problem in saving an report as xml file..
i wrote
if(currreport.saveasxml('c:\myxml.xml')) then begin
message('done');
end else begin
message('notdone');
end;

when i give the above code in OnInitReport() it gives an error message stating that "please enter date"(since date is an mandatary to run the report).
when i give in it OnPreReport() it give error message "report 0 does not exit"
when i give it in OnPostReport() it gives the same error..

please help me by giving some tips--where to write the code...

and also is there any provision to pass parameter to report when called through codeunit..(like date which is mandatory to run the report)

thank you

bye

Create a function on the report which will take the date as a parameter and set a global variable to that date.

something like:

var_SomeDate := parameter_SomeDate;

Now, when you code and call that report, pass the parameter to the function first and then set the XML parameters. This is all you have to do:

report_SomeReport.function_DateSet(090903D);
report_SomeReport.SaveAsXML('c:\SomeXMLFile.xml);

Remember, SaveAsXML implies a RUN command.
