Report.Print(Text [, Text] [, RecordRef]) Method

Version: Available or changed with runtime version 1.0.

Prints a specified report without running the request page. Instead of using the request page to obtain parameters at runtime, the method gets the parameter values as an input parameter string, typically from a RunRequestPage method call.

Note

From runtime version 9.0 and onward, this method is supported in Business Central online.

Syntax

 Report.Print(Parameters: Text [, PrinterName: Text] [, RecordRef: RecordRef])

Parameters

Report
 Type: Report
An instance of the Report data type.

Parameters
 Type: Text
A string of request page parameters as XML to use to run the report. The parameter string is typically retrieved from the return value a RunRequestPage method call.

[Optional] PrinterName
 Type: Text
The name of the printer to use to print the report. The printer must be set up on the client computer. If you do not set this variable, the printer that is set as the default printer is used.

[Optional] RecordRef
 Type: RecordRef
The RecordRef that refers to the table in which you want to find a record.

Remarks

You typically use this method together with the RunRequestPage Method method. The RunRequestPage method runs a report request page without actually running the report, but instead, returns the parameters that are set on the request page as a string. You can then call the Print method to get the parameter string and print the report.

For a simple example that illustrates how to use the Print method, see example in the RunRequestPage Method method topic.
