Par2: Put watermark on all reports 2010-01-14 -- Graham Dawson Open up the template registry and look at the DEFAULTs for the entry
titled:-
Report - Generic Reporting Procedure
under Class ABC - Procedures (or the similar one in the Legacy template set)
If you scroll down to the section that starts:-
#DEFAULT
NAME DefaultABCReportA4Portrait
You'll get the idea - there is a #DEFAULT for each of the entries you see
when you start a Procedure selecting Report as the type.
All you need to do is a one or more extra DEFAULTs with your custom FORM
section added to the starting report definition.
Best bet is to create the required watermark on a 'bare' report and export
the procedure to TXA - then use the REPORT definition as a guide when adding
your new default.
Clarification:
I mean THE template registry ie (with no APP open) main Clarion menu
'Setup' - 'Template Registry'.
Then open the relevant template chaing (ABC or Clarion) and go to the
'Procedures' - Report - Generic Reporting Procedure'
This is the template that runs when you chose 'Report' as the Procedure type
when starting a new procedure.
If you add extra cutomised DEFAULT sections to this (with your watermark or
other modifications) then the new 'starting points' will be listed in the
available report types when you begin a procedure.
So if you copy the existing default for A4 Portrait and amend as follows:-
#!---------------------------------------------------------------------
#DEFAULT
NAME CustomDefaultReportA4Portrait
[COMMON]
DESCRIPTION 'A reporting procedure (A4-Portrait) - Custom Watermark'
FROM Clarion Report
Note new NAME and DESCRIPTION
and change the FORM section to include your watermark
FORM,AT(1000,1000,6250,9688),USE(?Form)
IMAGE('LOGO.BMP'...etc etc !copy from TXA to be sure you get it
right
END
Then when you create a new procedure using Procedure - New you'll see an
additional entry in the available starting points.
Steve Parker notes:
You could also do this in \libscr\defaults.clw
