Hi,
Is it somehow possible to ask a question in a reportscript?
We do not have a developerslicense. And do a lot of scripting in the reportscript.
But now have to ask the user some value, like bookyear. Is it possible to ask this in reportscript, in for example BEFORE.PROGRAM?

You should have asked the user in the session before printing the report.
Is it not suitable for your requirement?

It is possible (took me 2 minutes to verify that). Why didn't you try it yourself?

And here is my solution that can also be used in a report script:


#pragma used dll ottdllinputstr

before.program:
long rc
string str(4)

rc = input.string("title", "year", 4, 4, str)
message("rc=%d str=%s", rc, str)

Günther

Can you use Programmable dialogs?
In case you are using LN I would recommend you writing this dialog as an extension of session.

Programmable dialogs....I did that for one of the stadard report ... though field validation part of dialog box did not work .


The only issue on LNUI is if there is no record to be printed ( post filtering in the report script) killing the report hangs the LNUI process where as it works perfectly on becs / worktop..

How do you do the post filtering in report script?
Do you redefine r.write.seq.file() as described here http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=9090 and just dont call ORIGINAL.FUNCTION() ?

depending on the dialog selection , as per the requirement we can suppress the layout. using predefined variable lattr.print set to false.

We got the same problem with LNUI stopps working when killing the report.
If you overwrite the function r.write.seq.file it will just disappear with the message "No data within selection".
