Batch Reports

The PMLReport Object is used to run new reports created by the Report Designer in batch. The interface is available on the .NET ReportingAddin assembly which can be imported and used as follows:

import 'ReportingAddin'

handle (1000,0)

endhandle

using namespace 'Aveva.Pdms.Reporting'

!!report = object PMLReport()

For example, to add parameters to a parameterised report

!argNames = object array()

!argNames[1] = 'param1'

!argValues = object array()

!argValues[1] = 'value1'

!!report.addParameters(!argNames, !argValues)

To add scope to a report for limiting the data to be displayed, overriding existing scope defined in the report

! ancestorElements = '/ATEST,/BTEST'

!elements = ''

!!report.AddScope(!ancestorElements, !elements)

And to export report as csv file

!rep1 = object file('C:\rep1.repv')

!csv1 = object file('C:\rep1.csv')

!!report.exportAsCsv(!rep1.fullname(), !csv1.fullname())

Errors loading the report data can be logged by adding a handler to the response event.

The interface has the following methods:
