You can run a classic report from RTC. No problem with that.
But what if you want to run the classic report from a page, with some filtering. For instance, printing a partiular invoice from a page, without requeiring the user to enter the filtering manually in the request form?
In other words, how to pass parameters to the classic report from RTC?

    I haven't be able to launch the classic reports from RTC.
    Main reason is that I get an error.

    Cannot find Server COMPUTERNAME.DOMAINNAME.NET



    I can ping COMPUTERNAME.DOMAINNAME.NET


    Starting the classic client and entering the COMPUTERNAME.DOMAINNAME.NET gives me the same error.

    Entering the COMPUTERNAME works fine in classic.

    I haven't had any problemas running Classic Reports from RTC, besides the question in my previous post.

    It's very simple to test.

    Run a codeunit to run the report with filters. If they are passed, which I'm sure it will.


    So please test it and let us know.

    Have your tried that? I think you are making assumptions without knowing :oops:
    This is what you get when you try that:

    I can't test as I mentioned, because it doesn't work on my pc.


    You mentioned passing filters. In your case you are calling a function? Can I see your code?


    Here is the I was running. It was starting the classic client and filters were passing without error. So classic client is starting without any error.
    Item.SETFILTER(Description,'B*');
REPORT.RUNMODAL(10143,TRUE,FALSE,Item);

    ara3n: you are 100% right. Filtering as is your example works fine.
    what you cannot do is to invoke a funcion defined in the classic report from RTC: then you get the error. The case is that in some cases I do some parameter passing thru a function in the report.

    you can a dummy dataitem in your report and pass the parameters as filters?

    It seems that you even cannot pass parameters to the report via a SingleInstance codeunit (may be the codeunit is not quite SingleInstance, when the classic report viewer is started... - seems to become DoubleInstance...)

    But isn't that awesome because the user gets displayed the filters of the dummy dataitem, doesn't he?
