Template
Report
Use
It is used to force the value of certain parameters.
The parameters are stored in the variable PARAMETRE with the indexes 1 to NBPAR. Each value is a string in the form of "parameter=value" without any other separator. The report parameters are split into 4 classes :
Those that start with a double underscore. These are the parameters for the destination X3, they are not transmitted to the report (or at least not as they are)
Those that start with a single underscore. These are the parameters with the destination Crystal Reports, they are not transmitted to the report. The values of these parameters are necessarily prefixed by chr$(1).
Those that start with X3. These are the context parameters transmitted to the report and automatically initialised by the supervisor.
Those that are described in the report dictionary. When the dictionary contains a parameter ending with "deb" or "str" another parameter with the same route ending with "fin" or "end" is automatically added.
The name of the print server is not a parameters. It is defined in the local variable SERVER (char(30)).
