NTPProcessReportExt ( <ReportHandle>, <ReportDestination>, <ShowPrintSetup>, <ShowStatus>, <ShowHideMessages>, <unUsed> ) -> <ErrorCode>

 

 

Description

 

This command starts the report generation, meaning the report is either printed or prepared for display and then displayed. The form of output is defined by the parameters of the function. All necessary options for the report have to be set prior to calling this function. After "executing" the report, the report handle created by NTPInit... is only available to certain functions, e.g. NTPExportReport, that access the created preview file.

 

 

Note: The command NTPProcessReportExt is the replacement function for NTPProcessReport, as this command allows the direct passing of the report handle. New script routines should use this function exclusively.

 

 

Note: By calling this function all reports appended to this report by use of NTPProcessReportAndAppend are displayed. The prerequisite hereby is the output of this report to the preview. If the report is output to the printer, appended reports are not printed!
