App. Engine Reporting System Plug-in

A New Concept of Generating Reports in PeopleSoft

No SQR, Crystal, RFT File or XML-Publisher.

Just PeopleCode.

Colourful Crisp PDF Report Documents.



Fast Development

80% of the code is auto-generated. Developer needs to fill-in PeopleCode in the

auto-generated template. Developer codes only against Report Events

like Report Header/Footer, On-Break etc. Reporting System Assembles all PeopleCode

functions to produce pdf report.



High Productivity

Handful of Report and Print APIs.

Produce CSV file in addition with minimum programming effort.

Split PDF file based on conditional data



Report On Data Flexibility Report is produced from Input Data Stream

that can be from: Data Base using SQL select:

- While &SQL.Fetch(&Rec) …

Flat Data File - While &fMYFILE.ReadLine(&Line) … - &FILE.ReadRowset();

Array - For &i = 1 To &RecArray.Len…



Programming Flexibility Developer is in full control of the output. Report page is available as canvas. Use handful of Print/Draw methods to fill the

page as you wish. Print text, image, barcode, lines, boxes.

Output is limited by the imagination of Developer.



Only Three Report APIs

If &MY_REPORT.InitReport(&InitArgs) = true then While &SQL.Fetch(&Rec) &MY_REPORT.SubmitData(&Rec,…);

End-while; &MY_REPORT.FinalizeReport(&Rec,…);End-if;



Handful of Print APIs

PrintStr - Print string on the current line at specified column position.

PrintStrAbs - Print string at specified (x,y) point of the current page.

PrintImage - Print Image at specified (x,y) point of the current page.

DrawLine - Draw Line from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) points of the current page.

DrawBox - Draw Rectangle from (x1,y1) to (x2,y2) points of the current page.

PrintStrWrap – Print string with wrap



Print Attributes (Font/Size/Colour)
