Hello to all,

I'm new in developing Baan reports for Infor LN. So I wonder if it is possible to add a "question" within a Report to get a Yes/No-answer from the user in advance of executing the Report itself.

I found some remark that executing a "message" out of reports is possible but not a "question". But from a message I've get no Yes/No-decision.

Is there another methode possible? Or can I execute a "question" out of reports and how I have to do the coding?

Best Regards
Bernd

Hi,

Yes. It is possible.

You can use ask.enum() function in your report script's before.program section.

You can create your question with tcyesno type of domain and provide a default answer. Now all you need to do is, code your logic in your report script and its done.

e.g.

ret = seq.open( filename, "w" )
while ( ret <= 0 )
if ( ask.enum( "tccom00001", tcyesno.yes, ret, filename )
= tcyesno.no) then
return
endif
ret = seq.open( filename, "w" )
endwhile


OR

before.program:
if ( ask.enum( "my_question_code", tcyesno.yes)
= tcyesno.no) then
|...Do what you want to do here..if user presses NO
endif
endwhile

Hello Bhushan,

I've took your second solution, but without the "endwhile" ;-).
It works very fine. Thanks a lot.

Best Regards
