Report Engine: How to run a report from an icon.
Report Engine: How to run a report from an icon.
It is possible to run a report (using the _printrb interface
or the table interface), directly from an icon. In order to
call the execution of a report from an icon you have to
create a procedure which calls _printrb or creates a record
in the rbtable and then calls prore.
Here are the steps to accomplish this:
1. Create a procedure, for example, callrep.p which has the
run of _printb or prore. Do not forget to include a QUIT
at the end of the procedure to avoid ending in the Procedure
Editor after execution.
2. On the icon, use the startup parameter -p.
Example: prowin32 -p callrep.p
