How to: |
After creating a report in Report Painter you can run it to quickly see the results displayed in your browser.
When you close the browser you return to the Painter, where you can edit the report request and rerun it.
Depending on your output destination, the report may be sent to the printer or saved as an output file in a variety of reusable formats, rather than being displayed on your screen. For related information, see Viewing and Printing Reports and Graphs and Saving and Reusing Report Output, located in the Creating Reporting Applications With Developer Studio manual.
When running a report, you can view the Message Viewer which enables you to see messages including error messages, informational messages, and Dialogue Manager commands. These messages appear in a separate frame below the report output and serve as a good resource for debugging an application.
After creating or editing a report request you can save it in Report Painter without leaving the tool. You can also save a request as you exit any reporting tool.
