Title: PDF file names Post by: Jeff W. on October 22, 2010, 08:02:54 pm To create PDF output I'm using the following reporting API functions.
CALL fgl_report_SelectDevice("PDF") LET p_handler = fgl_report_commitCurrentSettings() LET p_stat = fgl_report_RunReportFromProcessLevelDataFile(p_handler, p_filename) The last function creates unique PDF file names such as: Report-server-1335448-10-13-13-22-13.6.pdf Is there a way to generate my own PDF file names? Title: Re: PDF file names Post by: Gary C. on October 23, 2010, 08:13:45 pm Hi
I think you need to make a call to the function fgl_report_setOutputFileName(fileName) Title: Re: PDF file names Post by: Jeff W. on October 26, 2010, 11:47:02 pm Can you provide an example of how this fgl_report_setOutputFileName function is used? I tried some different options, but no luck. There's not a lot of documentation on it, other than it's suppose to be used with the fgl_report_selectPreview function.

Using your code example, something like ... Code
... you should end up with myname.pdf Title: Re: PDF file names Post by: Jeff W. on October 27, 2010, 05:25:24 pm This didn't work. Here's what my code looks like.
LET p_stat = fgl_report_loadCurrentSettings("region_rpt.4rp") CALL fgl_report_SelectDevice("PDF") CALL fgl_report_selectPreview(FALSE) CALL fgl_report_setOutputFileName("region") LET p_handler = fgl_report_commitCurrentSettings() LET p_stat = fgl_report_RunReportFromProcessLevelDataFile(p_handler, p_filename) If I remove the call to function fgl_report_selectPreview, it works but I get a random PDF file name. Any other suggestions? Title: Re: PDF file names Post by: Jeff W. on October 27, 2010, 06:40:26 pm After debugging and walking through the built-in functions (fgl_report_selectPreview, fgl_report_setOutputFileName, fgl_report_commitCurrentSettings), I understand what's happening now.

Title: Re: PDF file names Post by: ORGA-SOFT B. on June 26, 2017, 03:52:48 pm Hello Reuben,
i have exact the same problem. I call the following functions IF fgl_report_loadCurrentSettings("wagdrhesgrw.4rp") = TRUE THEN CALL fgl_report_selectDevice("PDF") CALL fgl_report_setOutputFileName("TEST.pdf") CALL fgl_report_commitCurrentSettings() RETURNING hdl END IF But the PDF is always generated with a random filename. So any suggestions what could be wrong? Title: Re: PDF file names Post by: Reuben B. on June 28, 2017, 02:18:34 am Quote Hello Reuben, i have exact the same problem.

So any suggestions what could be wrong? First guess is you are missing a line ... fgl_report_selectPreview(FALSE) Title: Re: PDF file names Post by: ORGA-SOFT B. on June 28, 2017, 11:07:04 am Hello Reuben,
many thanks. So if we want to bring up the pdf file with the preview param is set to true there is no way to set the filename of the pdf? |
