REPORT
Properties
(name)
Specifies the report name. This property is set automatically when the report is created.
output file name
Specifies the name and path of the HTML file generated on disk for this report. Since the content of this file is HTML code, you should give this file a ".html" extension.
If this property is not set, then "<ReportName>.html" is assumed.
If the report file name doesn’t include an absolute path, the report is generated in the first path of the FILE-PREFIX.
 
When the is-report-name-print-pdf paragraph is performed, the IDE generates an additional file with the same name and ".pdf" extension.
When the is-report-name-print-xls paragraph is performed, the IDE generates an additional file with the same name and ".xls" extension.
When the is-report-name-print-xlsx paragraph is performed, the IDE generates an additional file with the same name and ".xlsx" extension.
Use the "@[display]:" prefix followed by a client side path (e.g. "@[display]:C:\Temp\myReport.html" ) to generate the report on the client machine when the program runs in a thin client environment. The "@[display]:" prefix is automatically ignored when running out of a thin client environment.
