fgl_report_setAutoformatType

Syntax

fgl_report_setAutoformatType(
   type STRING )

1. type - One of "COMPATIBILITY", "FLAT LIST"

Usage

Function that sets the auto-formatting type if no 4rp template is specified. By default such a report would be rendered in compatibility mode; this function provides additional rendering options:

• A compatibility report - the report will be output in ASCII format, as in legacy reports
• A flat list - this is a simple list design, similar to the output from the List Report template available from the Genero Studio main menu option File >> New, Reports, Report Designs. This design is particularly well suited to produce Excel output from arbitrary reports.
