Reports print blank page
Dave Loveridge
We have some reports that were created in version 8. When they were upgraded
to V10. they all print a blank page, I have tried for quite a while to stop
it and the only solution I have been able to come up with is to create new
reports from scratch, is there any other way to fix this.
Thanks in advance

Have you installed any of the service packs to WP Office 2002? Avoid
service pack 4, stay with SP3 if you are using Paradox.

In one of the P9 service packs, they changed a report printing default
from printClipToWidth to printOverflowPages. If you're using a
reportPrintInfo record, you can set it by using:
reportPrintInfoVariable.panelOptions = reportClipToWidth

We are using Service pack 3.

The constant name is printClipToWidth

Then you probably got the solution from Jeff.

Whoops - you're right! I thought it looked odd when I typed it in, but
couldn't see the problem.
Dave Loveridge
Well, I have not been able to get this to work.
Any other suggestions?

Please show your ObjectPAL code - just copy and paste the var block, the
section where you set up your reportPrintInfo options, and the section
where you open and print the report.

VAR
P STRING
Q QUERY
V tableView
R Report
st number
pn string
poQBE Query
tc TCursor
prnOptions PrinterOptionInfo
EndVar
active.unlockRecord()
reportPrintInfoVariable.panelOptions = PrintClipToWidth
executeQBE(Q,"Poprint.db")
printerSetOptions(prnOptions)
R.open("RFQ.RSL")
R.print("RFQ.RSL")
close(R)

Let's look at this code
1) reportPrintInfoVariable.panelOptions = PrintClipToWidth
I don't see the variable - reportPrintInfoVariable - declared and neither
can I see it used.
2) printerSetOptions(prnOptions)
I don't see any assignments to prnOptions
3) R.open("RFQ.RSL")
You open the report ignoring reportPrintInfoVariable
4) R.print("RFQ.RSL")
By supplying the filename in print(), you print a completely fresh report
which ignores reportPrintInfoVariable.
5) close(R)
May be valid syntax, but r.close() is more in line with the rest of your
code.
Help files show an example on how to use reportPrintInfo
var
stockRep Report
repInfo ReportPrintInfo
endVar
; first, set up the repInfo record
repInfo.nCopies = 2
repInfo.makeCopies = True
repInfo.name = "Stock"
stockRep.print(repInfo)
In your case, with variable names from the helpfile example, it would be
repinfo.panelOptions = PrintClipToWidth
repinfo.name="RFQ"
stockrep.print(repinfo)

This is old code, written by someone else, it is not how I would have done
things.
PrnOptions PrinterOptionInfo was for something else that has been taken out
I just forgot to take out the last line.
But I also am still learning, it finally works
thanks Bertil
