PRINTRB/PRNTRB2 Interface Basics

The PRINTRB and PRNTRB2 interfaces are Progress 4GL procedures that allow you to control the report processing by specifying report parameters. Because they are Progress procedures, you can run them only from a 4GL application. This means that you must be in a Progress session to run the Report Engine PRINTRB or PRNTRB2 interface.

Follow these general steps to use the PRINTRB/PRNTRB2 interface:

  1. Start Progress.
  2. For PRINTRB, specify each of the nineteen parameters for the report in the RUN statement that calls the aderb/_printrb.p procedure file.
  3. For PRNTRB2, specify each of the twenty parameters for the report in the RUN statement that calls the aderb/_prntrb2.p procedure file.
  4. NOTE: The PRINTRB interface does not support all Report Builder Version 8.0 functionality and is provided solely for backward compatibility.
