Title: Launch Single Line Item Report From Browse or View Only Form
Post by: zdpl0a on August 23, 2007, 03:53:11 PM

Hi All,

I have a browse with about 900 current orders (rows) in it.  I need to print a report based on an order number column found in each row.

I have the print button as a column in each row. 

I need to know where to place the order number into the session q so I can access it in the report for proper single item printing.

The report works fine mechanically,.  However, the order number being accesses is the last one in the browse - previous page.. so I obviously not loading  the session value properly.

Can someone help me setup the order number so  the proper one is passed the the report ?  Also, is there a clean way to place a submit button on  a View Only form to generate the report without writing too much Java?

THanks,

Dave

Hi Dave,

a) for the button, tick on the template option "Include Row ID field".

b) The unique id o the browse line is now passed to the report as a "Value" (ie as a parameter.) In the report you can access it using the _value_ Queue, not the session Queue. for example

if  not p_Web &= Null
  loc:emp = p_web.GetValue('emp:id')
End

In the above example you'd then filter your report on loc:emp

PS Please avoid putting multiple questions in 1 thread, it can make the discussion confusing.

Hi Dave,

I'm not sure if the button should be a "Submit" button, because typically you'd want the report to open in it's own window. But that's for you to decide.

To place a button on a Form use the Display form field type, and click the "button" option on.
