Par2: Running Report Writer from inside Clarion apps
1998-05-03 -- Don Redd
 
Here is they way I do it, works very well( with over 100 reports).  Here's an example:

Library Path/Name:  C:\REPORTS\REPORTS.TXR
Report Name:            OrderInvoice

Here's the command line to run this from a push button from inside your Clarion program:

Using 32 bit report engine:
RUN('C4PRINTX.EXE C:\REPORTS\REPORTS.TXR OrderInvoice /W') 
      !   the /W will preview the report

Using the 16 bit report engine:
RUN('C4PRINT.EXE C:\REPORTS\REPORTS.TXR OrderInvoice /W')  
      !   the /W will
preview the report.

Look at the help files for the ReportWriter and find "Late Breaking News" or "Command 
Line Parameters" to see all of the command line switches.  You can call the
ReportWriter .DLL from inside your program, but I have not done it yet, as I do not use 
the ABC templates yet.
