Example

The following example shows the code for a test function to run a report and a request page handler function to test the request page. This example requires that you create the following:

  • A test codeunit called SaveAsPDF. For more information, see How to: Create Test Codeunits and Test Functions.

  • A test function in the test codeunit called TestSaveAsPDF. For more information, see How to: Create Test Codeunits and Test Functions.

  • A handler function of type RequestPageHandler called ReqPageHandler. This handler function has one parameter called RequestPage of Type TestRequestPage and Subtype Customer – Top 10 List. The RequestPage parameter is specified as VAR and is passed by reference to the handler function. For more information, see How to: Create Handler Functions.

    This example also requires that you create the following variable in the C/AL Globals window of the SaveAsPDF codeunit.

//Test function: TestSaveAsPDF

REPORT.RUN(111);  
IF NOT FILE.EXISTS(Filename) THEN  
  ERROR('File should exist!');  
  
//Request Page Handler function  
RequestPage.Customer.SETFILTER("No.", '20000');
