Hi Everyone,

 

I’m currently updating the shipment handling unit label report which is a built in report and I need to obtain the printer name and number of copies within the pl/sql RDF file for the report.  I wish to use this information in conditional branches in the report.   

 

When a user selects the printer and enters the number of copies on the report format and output dialog box is there any way to extract this extract the information?

 

 

Thank you,

William Klotz

The report method (your logic in the rdf) will be executed as the first thing even before you see the printer dialog. In another way, the input for the printer dialog is the data from your rdf and using the printer dialog you can convert that data using the layout you select and send to the printer you want. Therefore, I don’t think it’s feasible for you to do what you are intend to achieve via report method.
