Status

Declaration

property Status: integer;

Description

Status is a run-time, read-only property that can be used after the Execute method to indicate the processing status of the Report. It will return an integer value from the following list:

0- The Print Engine or the PrintJob are not open.

1- The Job has not started yet.

2- The Job is in progress.

3- The Job has completed successfully.

4- The Job has failed.

5- The Job has been canceled by the user.

6- The Report has exceeded the record or time governors.

You can use this function in a number of programming situations, for example:

●to trigger error messages, i.e., when a print job fails (due to insufficient memory, insufficient disk space, etc.),

●to trigger screen displays (hourglass, series of graphics, etc.) that confirm to the user that work is in progress,

●to find out whether a job was canceled by the user after Execute.
