06/04/2016

Saves a report on the computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server as a Microsoft Word (.doc) document.

Syntax

[Ok :=] REPORT.SAVEASWORD(Number, FileName[, Record])  
[Ok :=] ReportVariable.SAVEASWORD(FileName)

Parameters

Number
Type: Integer

The ID of the report that you want to run. From the C/AL Editor, on the View menu, choose C/AL Symbol Menu to select the report from a list.

If the report you specify does not exist, then a run-time error occurs.

FileName
Type: Text

The path and the name of the file that you want to save the report as. The path must exist, the file must not be being used, and the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server process must have permission to write to the file. Otherwise, you will get errors.

Record
Type: Record

Specifies which record to use in the report. Any filters that have been applied to the record that you specify will be used.

ReportVariable
The report that you want to run.

Property Value/Return Value

Type: Boolean

true if the report was saved; otherwise, false.

If you omit this optional return value, then run-time errors can occur. If you include a return value, then it is assumed that you will handle any errors.

Remarks

You can use the SAVEASWORD function on the global REPORT object or on Report variables. If, at design time, you do not know the specific report that you want to run, then use the global REPORT object and specify the report number in the Number parameter. If you do know which report you want to run, then create a Report variable, set the Subtype of the variable to a specific report, and use this variable when you call the SAVEASWORD function.

When you call the SAVEASWORD function, the report is generated and saved to "FileName." The request page is not shown.

If the destination folder that you specify in FileName does not exist, then you get the following error:

The specified path is invalid.

If the file that you specify in FileName is being used, then you get the following error:

An I/O exception occurred during the operation.

If the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server process does not have permission to write to the file that you specify in FileName, then you get the following error:

Either the caller does not have the required permission or the specified path is read-only.

Example

This example shows how to use the SAVEASWORD function to save the Word document on the computer that is running Microsoft Dynamics NAV Server and then download the file to a different computer that is running the Microsoft Dynamics NAV Windows client. It requires that you create the following variables.

Variable name	DataType	Length
TempFile	File	Not applicable
Name	Text	250
NewStream	InStream	Not applicable
ToFile	Text	250
ReturnValue	Boolean	Not applicable

// Specify that TempFile is opened as a binary file.  
TempFile.TEXTMODE(FALSE);  
// Specify that you can write to TempFile.  
TempFile.WRITEMODE(TRUE);  
Name := 'C:\Temp\TempReport.doc';  
// Create and open TempFile.  
TempFile.CREATE(Name);  
// Close TempFile so that the SAVEASWORD function can write to it.  
TempFile.CLOSE;  
  
REPORT.SAVEASWORD(406,Name);  
  
TempFile.OPEN(Name);  
TempFile.CREATEINSTREAM(NewStream);  
ToFile := 'Report.doc';  
  
// Transfer the content from the temporary file on Microsoft Dynamics NAV  
// Server to a file on the client.  
ReturnValue := DOWNLOADFROMSTREAM(  
  NewStream,  
  'Save file to client',  
  '',  
  'Word File *.doc| *.doc',  
  ToFile);  
  
// Close the temporary file.  
TempFile.CLOSE();

You can create an action on a page and set the action to run this code. When you run the action, the Export File dialog box opens. Choose Save to save the file to the client.
