PrintReport |
This method prints a report to a PDF file. It sets the printer driver to the PDFWriter software, writes out the temporary files that the PDF software generates and renames these files to the one you specify. In other words, it abstracts the entire process of generating the output file. o.PrintReport(lcReport, lcOutputFile, lcExtraReportClauses) |
|
PrintReportToString |
This method works like the PrintReport except that the final output is not a file, but rather a string. o.PrintReportToString(lcReport, lcExtraClauses) |
 |
cErrorMsg |
Contains any error messages if PrintReport returns .F. or PrintReportToString returns an empty string. |
|
cPrinterDriver |
This is the name of the printer driver that is used to print the document. |
