Printing in Powerbuilder

[Cardioes]

(I tried posting this earlier, but the topic did not show up)

Greetings Tek-Tiks,


Is there a way to print a report and control what the filename would be? I would like to be able to store that file name in a variable. I suppose it is a simple inquiry, but I can't seem to be able to find a way to do it.

Any help would be appreciated.

When you say 'print' do you mean sending something to a printer or saving it to a file and then printing the file? If you are sending the job to the printer and you want to control the name of the job (which shows in the print queue) you do that by setting the DocumentName property ( dw.object.print.documentname ). If you want to name the file it's the Filename property (dw.object.print.filename). If filename is an empty string the job gets sent to the printer.
