printing selected row

Hello Tomas,

If your "selection/highlight" is a field in the line table and you have that rec available to be filtered on your report request form then you can always place a filter and enable only the recs you want...

If not, then what do you mean by "selected/highlighted"? the user has selected a few recs in the lines of a pcking list and wants to print only them?
In that case you can run your report thru code but before you can perfomr something line vPLline.SETRECFILTER and then pass it as a parameter on your report run... Than way the record that is used in the report is already filter with the selected recs...

I hope this helps a bit...

Oops, wrong function... #-o
I meant SETSELECTIONFILTER. I copy/paste from C/SIDE help:

SETSELECTIONFILTER (Form)
Use this function to have the system note the records the user has selected on the form, mark those records in the table specified, and set the filter to "marked only".

CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(Record)
Record

Data type: record

A specific record or records.

Comments
If either all or no records are selected, marks will not be used.

Then in your code you can copy that rec of the form to another record variable and pass it as a parameter to a REPORT.RUN, i.e. a report that has a list of customers and runs a report for the selected customers only:

CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(Rec);
Customer.COPY(Rec);
REPORT.RUN(REPORT::"An Example Report",FALSE,FALSE,Customer);

I haven't tried that specific code... It is a sample...

You can also look at the Posted Purchase Receipt Form in the OnPush of the Print button which does a similar thing:

CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(PurchRcptHeader);
PurchRcptHeader.PrintRecords(TRUE);

and the printrecords procedure of the Return Receipt Header table follows:

PrintRecords(ShowRequestForm : Boolean)
WITH ReturnRcptHeader DO BEGIN
  COPY(Rec);
  ReportSelection.SETRANGE(Usage,ReportSelection.Usage::"S.Ret.Rcpt.");
  ReportSelection.SETFILTER("Report ID",'<>0');
  ReportSelection.FIND('-');
  REPEAT
    REPORT.RUNMODAL(ReportSelection."Report ID",ShowRequestForm,FALSE,ReturnRcptHeader);
  UNTIL ReportSelection.NEXT = 0;
END;

It is a little more complicated, but you can see how it works...

Hello,

You perfrom the:

CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(PurchRcptHeader);

To make the PurchRcptHeader to be filtered with the records that the user has selected on the form, and then call the report to run with that filtered variable (PurchRcptHeader) to display the recs that are within the filter...

You could always use the Rec variable instead of the additional variable (PurchRcptHeader) but that way the form will be filterd also and you will see (on the form) only the filtered records.

By using the addiiton variable you leave the Rec record unfiltered and you filter the PurchRcptHeader... So the only code you actually need (but with your own vatiable, like the picking list line) is:

CurrForm.SETSELECTIONFILTER(PurchRcptHeader);
REPORT.RUNMODAL(bla bla,ShowRequestForm,FALSE,ReturnRcptHeader);

I hope it is more clear now...

Hi,

The "PrintRecords" procedure exists in many header tables, almost in all the posted...

Each procedure is almost alike the others, others have a parameter and called with that parameter, others use an additional var (like the question you asked)...

Some of them are also buggy and need modification to work properly...

That local variable in the procedure is not nessecary, if you check other PrintRecords procedures there is not there... and others have parameters...

Remember "If you see it in standard navision code it is not nessecary to be correct..."!!!

Have you solved your earlier issue about printing the user selected recs? :?:
