Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Reporting:
Report Builder Deployment


PRINTRB/PRNTRB2 interface basics

The PRINTRB and PRNTRB2 interfaces are Progress 4GL procedures that allow you to control the report processing by specifying report parameters. Because they are Progress procedures, you can run them only from a 4GL application. This means that you must be in a Progress session to run the Report Engine PRINTRB or PRNTRB2 interface.

To use the PRINTRB/PRNTRB2 interface:

  1. Start OpenEdge.
  2. For PRINTRB, specify each of the nineteen parameters for the report in the RUN statement that calls the aderb/_printrb.p procedure file.
  3. For PRNTRB2, specify each of the twenty parameters for the report in the RUN statement that calls the aderb/_prntrb2.p procedure file.
