Syntax

Description

This command prints a single record of the specified report instance. You use it when printing a report on a record-by-record basis and usually within a loop. It provides greater control over the report generator than Print report. If you omit the report instance name Print record is applied to the most recently started report instance ($ireports.$first).

Each time Print record is encountered, a record section of the report is printed to the selected output using the data in the CRB. Any page heading, subtotal heading and subtotal sections before the record section are printed where necessary.

Subtotal sections are printed whenever the sort fields change value, provided that the fields entered in the Sort Fields dialog have Subtotals set to True.

The flag is cleared if:

• no Prepare for print is used, or
• the user cancels the report by pressing Ctrl-Break/Ctrl-C/Cmnd-period, or
• there is an error.

These errors will not cause Omnis to execute a Quit all methods. If the flag is cleared, Omnis will not execute any further Print record commands until it encounters another Prepare for print.
