report.RUN vs. report.RUNMODAL

pbatink · 2008-05-16

Hello everybody,

In standard Navision report.RUN is used to print documents while posting.
Is this a correct statement?

Some report.RUNMODAL statements were added by our former NSC to also print documents while posting from codeunit 82.
We experience deadlocks that might be caused by report.RUNMODAL waiting for the printer to return control to Navision.

Can anyone explain the different approach?

Kind Regards,
Peter.

Simply put, runmodal will wait until the process is finished. Run will not.

comes these lockes if the report shows a error :?:

Hello Alex and garak, Thank you for your response.

I'm aware of the technical difference between RUN and RUNMODAL.
No, there is no navision error involved but a SQL deadlock message.

What keeps me busy is: what happens when the windows printdialog window is visible for quite some time and the booking process doesn't continue? Are there still tables locked or does the printing take place after a COMMIT?
