Creating a report in X++ code and running
Here is a small job that demonstrates the main parts of build a report dynamically in X++ and launching it.
static void MakeReportJob(Args _args)
{
#AOT
str reportName = 'aaMakeReport';
tableid custTableId = tablenum(CustTable);
TreeNode reportNode = TreeNode::findNode(#ReportsPath);
Report areport;
ReportDesign design;
ReportAutoDesignSpecs specs;
ReportSection section;
ReportRun run;
;
// Delete the report if it already exists
areport = reportNode.AOTfindChild(reportName);
if (areport)
areport.AOTdelete();
// Build the report
areport = reportNode.AOTadd(reportName);
areport.query().addDataSource(custTableId);
design = areport.addDesign('Design');
specs = design.autoDesignSpecs();
section = specs.addSection(ReportBlockType::Body, custTableId);
section.addControl(custTableId, fieldnum(CustTable, AccountNum));
section.addControl(custTableId, fieldnum(CustTable, Name));
// Now the report will not prompt for user input
areport.interactive(false);
areport.query().interactive(false);
areport.AOTcompile();
run = ClassFactory.reportRunClass(new Args(reportName));
run.init();
run.run();
}
