  • A test codeunit called SaveAsExcel.
  • A test method in the test codeunit called TestSaveAsExcel.
  • A handler method of type RequestPageHandler called ReqPageHandler. This handler method 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 method.
var
    Filename: Text;
begin
    //Test method: TestSaveAsExcel  
    Filename := TemporaryPath + 'MyRep.xls';  
    Message(Filename);  
    if not File.Erase(Filename) then  
      Error('Cannot erase %1',Filename);  
    Report.Run(111);  
    if not File.Exists(Filename) then  
      Error('File should exist!');  
      
    //Request Page Handler method  
    RequestPage.Customer.SetFilter("No.", '20000');  
    RequestPage.ChartType.Value('Pie chart');  
    RequestPage.SaveAsExcel(Filename);  
end;
