E: Print with Crystal

beasscript-logo-small

It is simple to create reports using printobject in BeasScript.

Note: in all scripts an example is inside with selecting printer.

Note: if you want to use internal Crystal 11 viewer, you must connect to the report (connectioninfo)

If you work in the web, the system takes automatically the printer defined in the station wizard -> location.

 

hmtoggle_plus1Example with setting the printer (used also crreport commands)

printobject=openreport=myreport.rpt
// Define parameter
printobject=setvar=myparam1=<paramvalue1>
printobject=setvar=myparam2=<paramvalue2>
// set printer (exact that name, which is defined in the Windows printer definitions)
tools=printer=getdriversport=name
printobject=crreport=selectprinter=<value_printerdriver>
// and print out
printobject=crreport=printout

 
hmtoggle_plus1Example for print a single-report with 2 copies

// open the report
printobject=openreport=<myfile.prt>
// define all parameters
printobject=setvar=myparam1=<paramvalue1>
printobject=setvar=myparam2=<paramvalue2>
// Define count of copies (need beas 9.3 PL 3 HF 1 or newer)
printobject=copies=2
// Print out
printobject=crreport=printout

 
hmtoggle_plus1Example with export and print

// load report from variable "filename"
printobject=openreport=<filename>
// and save (export with question about format)
printobject=crreport=exportoption=destinationtype=disk
printobject=crreport=exportoption=diskfilename=c:\temp\myreport.pdf
printobject=crreport=exportoption=formattype=pdf
printobject=crreport=export=true
