Hi Experts,
i try to implement a macro, that returns following prompt informations of an impromptu-report:
1. How many Prompts exists
2. The Prompt Names
3. The Prompt Datatypes

for example:
input: day.imr
output: 2, "start_date", "end_date", Date, Date

My problem is, that i can´t open a report within a macro without knowing the correct number of reports and the correct datatypes.
I´m planning a webapplication where the user can select a report to be printed. Therefore the webapplication has to check which prompts according to the report have to be entered by the user before the report can be executed correctly.

Thx4Support
