fgl_report_selectPreview

The fgl_report_selectPreview function determines whether the report is shown in the previewer or written to a file on disk.

Syntax

fgl_report_selectPreview(
   preview INTEGER )

preview should be set to 0 (FALSE) or 1 (TRUE). When set to FALSE, the file is generated on disk rather than being previewed.
