Hi Martin,

Do you know if it’s possible to print the report on both sides of a page w/ code?

In reply to Israel Gonzalez. I've created a D365FO example for you: http://dev.goshoom.net/en/2018/10/printing-reports-from-code-in-d365fo/. You can use it anywhere, e.g. in a table method, although a class is usually the best place for such logic.

Hello Martin,

Could you give me a example for D365. Should I create a class for that code?

In reply to NikoGJ. Yes, I've seen it before. It's apparently saved in the report state.

Hi,

Thanks for the code.
Have you ever encountered trouble using parmShowDialog(false) to suppress the prompt?
I’ve tried on a (custom) report and the dialog always showed up. I had to use parmLoadFromSysLastValue(false) otherwise the showDialog boolean was overwritten…
See ya!

Thanks. But how to run this code? My requirement is I would like to print AX 2012 reports to Excel file in batch mode. I will need to supply report parameters (like Source system, Sorty by, Start date, End date etc). How can I pass the parameters in this code? Appreciate any help. Thanks

Whenever I run this I always get an info box that says:

“The report has been successfully saved as: ”

how do I suppress this message?

Martin,

Thanks so much for this post it’s saved me! Been struggling with some custom printing stuff for a couple days now with 2012.

I’m going to probably do a more detailed blog post based off of this.

Hi Martin,

I already done some similar kind of example. But in my case i am testing this through Job. Where i can set the report parameters (can take the parameter reference from VS ex:DatesetName_Parametername)in job. But how to use the dynamics parameters in X++ code. example code: This is working fine but i am unable to override default parameters added in query range(say itemid), its taking what is there in report run dailog

static void GenerateSSRSansSave(Args _args)
{
SrsReportRun srsReportRun;
//SysMailer mailer = new SysMailer();

srsReportRun = new SrsReportRun(“ReportName.Report1”);

srsReportRun.init();
srsReportRun.reportCaption(“InventOnHand”);
srsReportRun.reportParameter(“InventOnHandBGDS_ViewConfigId”).value(true);
.
.
.

srsReportRun.showDialog(false);

// Print to a file named ReportExample in HTML/PDF format.
srsReportRun.printDestinationSettings().printMediumType(SRSPrintMediumType::File);
srsReportRun.printDestinationSettings().fileFormat(SRSReportFileFormat::PDF);
srsReportRun.printDestinationSettings().overwriteFile(true);
srsReportRun.printDestinationSettings().fileName(@”C:\InventOnHandReport.pdf”);

if( srsReportRun )
{
srsReportRun.executeReport();
}
info(“Report Saved”);
}

Thanks In Advance.
