From Dataitem return to Request Form?

itspeter

From Request Form, once you click on "Preview" it will proceed to process dataitem.

In the Request form, I need to have a button trigger to "pre-process" Dataitems, after that return to Request Form.

Is it possible? :-k

I think you could have a "Pre-process" check box on the option tab. If this box is checked, the report would do the pre-processing only and then call the same report again.

Actually you would need to declare a variable NewReportInstance,
and create a function SetUp that would the results of your pre-processing (and any options or filters that the user had chosen). In each section:

OnPreSection
IF PreProcessing THEN
SHOWOUTPUT(FALSE);

Finally, in the OnPostReport trigger:

IF PreProcessing THEN BEGIN
NewReportInstance.SetUp;
NewReportInstance.RUN;
END;

I hope this does what you want.
