PDF Filename generated when using OnGetFilesuffix

rbuser

Hi,

I am using Report Builder 12.05 Enterprise.

I am generating a PDF File for each group in a report using OnGetFileSuffix
procedure.

How can I get the location and PDF Filename created in RAP?
i.e. If the File suffix is Invoice_55_Customer_33 I would like to know also
the folder
( c:\temp\invoices\Inv_Invoice_55_Customer_33.pdf )

Is there a way to know the FileName created using RAP?

Thanks,

Jose Maria Sanmartin

Hi Jose,

You can use the Report.FileDevice.FileName property to obtain the
initial file name and path to be used when exporting each group.

Thanks Nico,

But using

ShowMessage(Report.FileDevice.Filename);

in RAP I get this error:

Expected: '(' or '[', but Filename was found instead.

Should I use a passthrough function to get access to Report.FileDevice?

Thanks,

Report.FileDevice have to work fine.
Your problem is with FileName property of FileDevice.
This property was published in RB 14 only.
So your code work without problems in RB 14 and later.

Rather than create your passthrough function, I recommend just creating a
RTTI class for TppFileDevice. Then your RAP code can use FileName and
later you can remove this custom RTTI for RB 14.

Hi,

I have created a RTTI class for TppFileDevice with access to property
FileName.

When is the Filename changed after using OnGetfileSuffix and what method
should I use in RAP once FileName is setted?

Thanks,

Jose Maria Sanmartin

Hi.

FileDevice.FileName do not change immediately after OnGetfileSuffix event.
This happens later, when device receive the Page (in
FileDevice.ReceivePage method).

No special method (event) available in RAP that raised on Filename changed.

But what is your problem? What you want to do?

Thanks Dima,

I will check with ReceivePage method.

I want to generate a range of invoices in Pdf and then create an script to
send them by email (every invoice for each customer). For that I need to
know the PDF file name generated for every invoice.
As far as I know, ReportBuilder only sends 1 email for every report
generated, so I try to create a script to send the emails all at once.
Something like:

mailto: -address -subject -attach.

Thanks Dima,

If it is no problem for you and it doesn't take too much of your time, you
can make an example for me.
Don't worry if you can't, because I am not at all convinced that this is the
way that I am going to implement it. Only if the solution save time to the
customer I would use it.

You can send it to chema at patopatin.com.

Thanks again,
