fgl_report_setPrinterDestinationUrl
Specify an alternate destination for the spooled printer formatted data.
Syntax
fgl_report_setPrinterDestinationUrl(
destination STRING )
- 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.
