NTPProcessReport ( <DataFile>, <ReportDestination>, <ShowPrintSetup>, <ShowStatus>, <ShowHideMessages> ) -> <ErrorCode>

 

 

Description

 

Processes the created spoolfile and report output to the screen (Preview) or to the printer. The various parameters influence how the output is "presented" to the user. All necessary settings for the report have to be taken care of before calling this function. After "executing" the report, the report handle created by NTPInit...A is only available to certain functions, e.g. NTPExportReport, that access the created preview file.

 

 

Note: The command NTPProcessReport should no longer be used for new script routines, as it is only available for compatibility reasons. New routines should use the NTPProcessReportExt command, as this as opposed to NTPProcessReport, receives the report handle and not the spool file created (that was found by using NTPGetDataFileName first).
