oReport meter/ progressbar

[Otto]

Is it possible to have a progressbar or a meter into oReport class.

Thanks in advance
Otto

Hi Otto,

there is a dialog with message of page creation, you can use this dialog to put a progressbar, but the problem is to know how many pages has the report
to set the progressbar, you need to calculate this previus to send the report maybe an estimate or generate the report without preview and generate again to obtain the total pages, this is the same problem if you need to put page number like "pagen of totalpage" in this case I write this information at the end of report directly to the EMF files.

You can't know the total pages that will be printed but you know the total lines to be printed.

You can implement progress bar on the basis of number of lines printed in comparison with the total lines to be printed. The point is how do we get a callback to our program whenever a line is printed.

We supply a bSkip block the Report class. For DBF, report class has a default bSkip block. But we can supply our own bSkip block. It is in this bSkip block you provide, you can capture the record number being printed and use it in your progress bar.

But I do not find any need for progress bar for reports because the preview generation shows the user some kind of progress and that is adequate in most circumstances.

Hello,
Maybe I make an error defining the report- but till the first msgwait from oReport appears 23 sec. pass.
Till now I always loaded the records I wanted to print into a temp dbf and then started the oReport printing the temp-dbf.
There a meter is easy to implement. In this case the msgwait appears quick.

But I thought I could do it without this extra code.
This is how I use oReport.

Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

It looks like the delay is because you are using a filter. Try it without the filter and see how fast it is (just for a test). If that solves the speed issue, then you could build a modified index and use scopes.

James

[nageswaragunupudi]

I agree with Mr James

Also an out off topic suggestion
Instead of

iif(umsatz->Anzhg<>0, umsatz->Anzhg,"") PICTURE "999,999,999.99"

it may be simpler to write

Code: Select all  Expand view

umsatz->Anzhg PICTURE "@Z 999,999,999.99"

[Otto]

Hello James,
thank you for the suggestion. I changed the code and use now a temporary index instead of the filter.

Code: Select all  Expand view

select umsatz
      index on umsatz->datum  TAG TEMPDAT3 TO TEMP TEMPORARY FOR (umsatz->datum >= (anfang) .AND. umsatz->datum <= (ende))
   

Now the Report msgwait shows within 2 sec.

Helo Mr. Rao,
Thank you for the information. Good to know that. It makes the code much easier to read.
Best regards,
Otto

[James Bott]

Otto,

>I changed the code and use now a temporary index instead of the filter.

Still a temp index will cause a lag since it needs to read the whole DBF. Why not use scopes? You may need to build a new permanant index including the date field at the start of the index. Then set the scope to the beginning and ending date. This will be very fast and you don't need a temp index.

index on dtos( datum ) + renr

Then set the scopes.

umsatz->(ordScope(0, dtos(anfang) ) // set top scope
umsatz->(ordScope(1, dtos(ende) ) // set bottom scope
umsatz->(dbgotop())


James

[James Bott]

Otto,

After thinking about it, the scopes in my previous message aren't going to work since you need to group by renr. It is late here and I am not thinking clearly. I will get back to you in the morning.

James

[Otto]

Hello James,
Thank you. I tried with your code and it seems that all works very well.
Now there is no speed problem anymore.
Best regards,
Otto

Code: Select all  Expand view

   index on dtos(field->datum)+str(field->renr)         tag u_datrg //12
...  



   select umsatz
     //index on umsatz->datum  TAG TEMPDAT3 TO TEMP TEMPORARY FOR (umsatz->datum >= (anfang) .AND. umsatz->datum <= (ende))
 
  set order to tag u_datrg
umsatz->(ordScope(0, dtos(anfang) ))  // set top scope
umsatz->(ordScope(1, dtos(ende) ) )   // set bottom scope
umsatz->(dbgotop())
 
 
 

 

[James Bott]

Otto,

Glad to hear it. But, don't you need to group by the field "renr" also? If so, then it gets more complicated. I came up with an idea, but it will take some testing to figure out the details.

Otto,

for this topic I am happy using ADSRDD, because you can mix SQL with traditional table navigation,
in your case a simple select <colums> from <table> where <condition> order by <order> is the solution
you can try

regards

Marcelo

[Otto]

Hello james,
the report is grouped by the field - and displayed ok.
Best regards,
Otto

Hello Marcelo,
I will test ADS when I have more time.
Best regards,
Otto

[Marcelo Via Giglio]

Otto,

I found a simple sample that I made some years ago...

copy this (sql.prg, sql.rc) into fw sample folder, uncomment the lines to link ace32.lib and rddads.lib in the buildx.bat file and compile it.

to probe select CDX file type, connect to the currect directory .\ when you press the CONETAR button, the square must be change to green, then
put select * from customer into Consulta SQL text area and press Ejecutar

I hope this can be a sample, you can join more than one dbf file from the current directory, this can be easily changed to work with data dictionay and client server too.

saludos

Marcelo
