In Arev64 in OI 10.2, if I use the Arev_Xlist command the new Print Preview window is displayed. Is there a way to use the new Print Preview using Set_Printer in an OI stored procedure?

My Cfg_OIPI is set to Vsprinter2.

Are there other settings that I need to adjust?

Hi, John. AREV_XLIST generates an XList (or XBand) report, which is using the Banded Report Writer (BRW). You can get the same results from TCL, but when you call SET_PRINTER you are using OIPI (either .NET or Classic, depending on whether you're set to VSPRINTER2 or VSPRINTER1). Unfortunately, there's no way to make the OIPI output appear in the BRW print preview screen.

To read more about XBAND, OIPI, and other print changes and enhancements in OI 10.2+, please look at this new KnowledgeBase article.

Bryan,

Thanks for the information. That makes sense. I'll dig in deeper the the KB article. I had found one of the articles on OIPI, but didn't see the grouping like this. This helps a lot.

John
