PRINT Function
Prints a specified report without running the request page. Instead of using the request page to obtain parameters at runtime, the function gets the parameter values as an input parameter string, typically from a RUNREQUESTPAGE Function call.
REPORT.PRINT(Number, Parameters[,PrinterName][, RecordRef])
Parameters
- Number
Type: Integer The ID of the report that you want to print. To specify the report from a list, on the View menu, choose Symbols. If the report that you specify does not exist, then a run-time error occurs.
- Parameters
Type: Text or Code 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 Function function call.
- PrinterName
Type: Text constant or code The name of the printer to use to print the report. The printer must be set up on the Microsoft Dynamics NAV client computer. If you do not set this variable, the printer that is set as the default printer is used.
- RecordRef
Type: RecordRef The RecordRef that refers to the table in which you want to find a record.
Remarks
You typically use this function together with the RUNREQUESTPAGE Function function. The RUNREQUESTPAGE function 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 function to get the parameter string and print the report.
For a simple example that illustrates how to use the PRINT function, see example in the RUNREQUESTPAGE Function function topic.
