Tech Tip: Displaying the QR Editor and Wizard Programmatically

You can display the Quick Report editor and wizard programmatically by using the QR Report command. This command can take up to six parameters -QR Report({table;}document{;hierarchical{;wizard{;search}}}{;*})- wherein the document parameter must exist and the others are optional. To display the Quick Report editor, you have to declare a document that does not exist in the document parameter; to display the QR wizard, you need to set the wizard parameter to true. Below is a sample code that will perform a query on a table and will display the QR editor with the wizard so that the user can design, save load, and print any reports.

  QUERY([Records])
If (OK=1)
    QR REPORT([Records];Char(1);False;True;False)
End if

As you can see, to display the editor and the wizard, the document parameter is set to Char(1), a name of the document that does not exist, and the wizard parameter is set to true.
