Hi,
I'm trying to call a report using Javascript. It should work in all 3 formats (HTML, PDF and Excel). The reason I'm using Javascript is to hide menu, toolbar in the new window.
We can achieve this in HTML but not working in PDF and Excel. Anybody can suggest me the way to achieve this.

Thanks

Kamesh, the format of the report shouldn't matter. You're using JavaScript to open a new window and then run the report in that window.

What's not working?

This is the sample code I'm trying

TABLE FILE CAR
PRINT CAR
MODEL
BODYTYPE
ON TABLE PCHOLD FORMAT PDF
ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=P1,JAVASCRIPT=GETREPORT(),$
ENDSTYLE
END
-RUN


-HTMLFORM BEGIN


<script language="JavaScript">
function GETREPORT()
{
var shttp='http://crsdev/ibi_apps/WFServlet?IBIF_ex=test.fex';
window.open(shttp,"test");
}



-HTMLFORM END
-EXIT

This code works for html but when I try this for PDF, getting "Page Cannot be displayed"

You have a drilldown from one report to another.

If your main report is in a window without the menu toolbar, then when you drilldown you won't have the toolbar - you can use FOCEXEC instead of JAVASCRIPT.

If the main report is in a window with the menu toolbar and you want the drilldown to open in a new window without the menu toolbar, may I suggest coding the drilldown based on the selected output format?

Something like this:

ON TABLE SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=P1,FOCEXEC=TEST, WHEN='&OUTPUT' EQ 'PDF, $
TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=P1,JAVASCRIPT=GETREPORT(), WHEN '&OUTPUT' EQ 'HTML', $
ENDSTYLE

I hope this is of some help.

It gives me the same result for PDF. Not opening in new window and also not hiding the menu and toolbar.
My main window will have menubar.

Use javascript to open up a new window with the options you want, then submit the form with the new window as the target.

Kamesh,

You have a report with a drilldown that will be run in three different formats. The main report is in a window with the menu toolbar. You want the drilldown report to open in a window without the menu toolbar. This won't work for PDF and probably not for Excel.

Why don't you open the main report in a window without the menu toolbar and than have the drilldown report open in the same window?
