TReport: report structure

Organizes report definition and printing processing.

TReport: report structureAdvPL

01 · OVERVIEW

Overview

TReport contains sections, cells, breaks and totals and replaces legacy SetPrint/SetDefault/RptStatus/Cabec. Its constructor receives ID, title, parameters and bAction invoked on printing confirmation. Defining layout does not print records. The community sample separates definition/data processing and uses section Init/PrintLine/Finish. Its SQL and fixed aliases are not copied: real integration needs context, cancellation, cleanup and correct filtering. This block only prepares construction with a caller-supplied action. (Sources: refs. 1–2.)

03 · PRACTICAL EXAMPLE

Commented example

#Include "Protheus.ch"

User Function Ed698()
    // Uninvoked block: bPrint must implement real processing.
    Local bCreate := {|bPrint| TReport():New("ED698","Example report",,bPrint)}
    ConOut(ValType(bCreate))
Return Nil

Expected result

Creates block B without a dialog or printing. Under review: editorial example neither compiled nor run in Protheus. Check includes, release, RDD and context before testing.

BEST PRACTICES

Do not treat construction as printing confirmation. Check memory, pagination and release-specific XLSX output behavior.
