Report Builder Print to file with or w/o control codes
INTRODUCTION:
=============
How to write a Report Builder report to a file and include printer
control codes or just plain ascii text.
WHY YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS:
===========================
For customers who would like to create a report, save it to a file and
print it out at a later date.
PROCEDURAL APPROACH:
====================
with Control codes | no Control codes
-----------------------------------------------------------
Report | Report->Print | Report->Export |
Builder | print to file | |
-----------------------------------------------------------
Report | RB-PRINT-DESTINATION = "" | RB-PRINT-DESTINATION = "A" |
Engine | RB-OUTPUT-FILE = "filename" | RB-OUTPUT-FILE = "filename" |
| * | |
-----------------------------------------------------------
COMMENTS:
========
* When the RB-PRINT-DESTINATION is blank, specify an output file name
and optionally specify a printer name. Report Builder will include
control codes in the output file for the specified printer, or if no
printer is specified, for the printer that was saved in the report.
