I need some help with the Banded Report Writer. I've written a report that I call from an R/Basic program with a PERFORM "RUNREPORT …" command. When I run the report it displays correctly, and when I run the report with the (P) option, it prints out correctly.
My problem is when I display the report in the viewer, and then press -
, I get the error message:
B635
The Alt-P key is functional only when using R/LIST commands.
It doesn't matter if I run the report from the TCL, from my program, or using SF1 from the makereport window.
I've tried everything I can think of. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thx,

If I remember correctly, Alt-P is implmented seperately in each program, so that Window, Popup and the viewer each had to be implemented in the respective programs. Now, the view has no real way of knowing what caused it to appear, so it checks for the current execution of an R/LIST program through a mechanism way to complex to mention here (which is Aaronspeak for I can't remember) but it was just a matter of checking a variable or two. Even if you could get to this little section, the whole re-entrant nature of the viewer would really proclude it. The viewer's probably the biggest hack inside ARev.
However, I'm pretty sure the BRW loads up a menu and you can print the report by hitting the F10 key.
