Parameters

Number
Type: Integer

The ID of the report for which you want to run the request page. 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.

A string of request page parameters as XML to use to run the report.

Property Value/Return Value

A string of the request page parameters as XML.

Remarks

This function opens the request page for the specified report, where the user can provide parameters for the report. When the user closes the request page by choosing the OK button, a string that contains the parameter values that were set by the user is returned. When the user chooses the Cancel button, an empty string will be returned. The returned parameter string can be picked up by calling one of the following functions:

Note

You can use these functions to schedule reports in the job queue.

Example

This example illustrates how to use the RUNREQUESTPAGE function to run the request page for report ID 206 Sales Invoice. The request page parameters are saved to a table, and then uses the parameters with the EXECUTE, SAVEAS, and PRINT functions to preview the report, save it as a PDF file, and print it.

This example requires that you create a table for holding parameters that are entered on the report request page and a codeunit that runs the report functions.

Create a table called Request Parameters that has the following fields.

Field Name	Data Type	Length
ReportId	Integer
UserId	Code	100
Parameters	BLOB

Create a codeunit and add the following variables in the C/AL Globals window.

Variable name	DataType	Subtype	Length
ReportParameters	Record	Report Parameters
XmlParameters	Text
OStream	OutStream
IStream	InStream
CurrentUser	Code		100
Content	File
TempFileName	Text

Add the following code to the OnRun trigger of the codeunit.

// Use the REPORT.RUNREQUESTPAGE function to run the request page to get report parameters  
XmlParameters := REPORT.RUNREQUESTPAGE(206);  
CurrentUser := USERID;  

// Save the request page parameters to the database table  
WITH ReportParameters DO BEGIN  
    // Cleanup  
    IF GET(206,CurrentUser) THEN  
    DELETE;  

    SETAUTOCALCFIELDS(Parameters);  
    ReportId := 206;  
    UserId := CurrentUser;  
    Parameters.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OStream,TEXTENCODING::UTF8);  
    MESSAGE(XmlParameters);  
    OStream.WRITETEXT(XmlParameters);  

    INSERT;  
END;  

CLEAR(ReportParameters);  
XmlParameters := '';  

// Read the request page parameters from the database table  
WITH ReportParameters DO BEGIN  
    SETAUTOCALCFIELDS(Parameters);  
    GET(206,CurrentUser);  
    Parameters.CREATEINSTREAM(IStream,TEXTENCODING::UTF8);  
    IStream.READTEXT(XmlParameters);  
END;  

// Use the REPORT.SAVEAS function to save the report as a PDF file  
Content.CREATE('TestFile.pdf');  
Content.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OStream);  
REPORT.SAVEAS(206,XmlParameters,REPORTFORMAT::Pdf,OStream);  
Content.CLOSE;  

// Use the REPORT.EXECUTE function to preview the report  
REPORT.EXECUTE(206,XmlParameters);  

// Use the REPORT.Print function to print the report  
REPORT.PRINT(206,XmlParameters);
