Hello All,
Have anyone of you ever tried saving a report directly into file in certain format?
I have a MorphX Report which is designed like a simple report list. Data is in fixed
positions and listed row after row.
I would like to print that report directly into file using
FileSave-dialog.
That dialog asks filename and it’s extension. I have added csv and xsl filetypes. BUT if I
choose .csv or .xsl it doesn’t convert them into those formats.
I read from Forums that AX in this case should internally convert report into as csv file, but
it doesn’t seems to do it so.
I have used Article: Exporting data to Excel as starting point and made some corrections to
bugs but still something is missing. Any ideas?
Code in the Report is like below and methods executed from top to down.
/// Initialization
public void init()
{
#Excel
printHeading = true;
this.printJobSettings().setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
this.printJobSettings().preferredFileFormat(PrintFormat::ASCII);
this.printJobSettings().fileName(fileName);
super();
}
/// Dialog whick asks file name to be saved and it's format
public Object dialog(Object _dialog)
{
#Excel
Dialog dialog = super(_dialog);
dlgFileName = dialog.addFieldValue(typeid(FileNameSave), "");
dialog.filenameLookupFilter(["@SYS28576",#XLS,"@SYS100852","*.csv"]);
dialog.filenameLookupTitle("Select filename and type");
dlgFileName.value(filename);
return dialog;
}
/// Processing
public void run()
{;
this.printJobSettings().fileName(fileName);
#Excel
this.printJobSettings().format(PrintFormat::ASCII);
super();
}
public boolean printerSettings(int _showWhat=-1)
{
boolean ret;
ret = super(_showWhat);
return ret;
}
