How to force using code printing ranges on report

Business Requirement: printing ranges on a report

This code will be used for print the report ranges in the page header, like if you mark the "Print ranges" checkbox of report print options:

Printing the ranges with which a Report has been executed is only available for a AutoDesignSpecs Design of a Report.

 

Unfortunately this option is not available for Reports having a Generated Design.

Solution: override executeSection method in PageHeader

You can print the ranges with some X++ code modifications in your report.

1. Add a PageHeader control to the Report, if there isn’t yet such a control in your Report.
2. Override the executeSection method of the PageHeader control as follows:
   

   
   public void executeSection()
   {
     // BGN Printing ranges
     SysReportRun locSysReportRun;
     ;
     //END
   
     super();
   
     // BGN Printing ranges
     locSysReportRun = element;
     locSysReportRun.printRanges(true);
     SysReportRun::executePrintRangeSection(element);
     // END
   }
