fgl_report_setPrinterDestinationUrl

Syntax

fgl_report_setPrinterDestinationUrl(
   destination STRING )

1. destination - the destination URL.

Usage

Function to specify an alternate destination for the spooled printer formatted data.

A URL indicating an alternate destination for the spooled printer formatted data. Some print services do not support a destination other than the printer device and so do not support this attribute. This attribute is typically used by applications that redirect output to a local disk file, for example, file:out.prn. A more platform-independent method is to set the fgl_report_setPrinterName to "stdout" so that postscript is written to stdout, or to specify the fgl_report_setPrinterwriteToFile attribute which causes postscript to be written to the specified file. Another alternative is to use fgl_report_selectDevice to generate a PDF file .

By default, the destination URL is not set. Setting this option reduces the set of usable printers to those matching it.
