Crystal Reports 11 - A way to send a code for failure or success on execution

[Former Member]

My boss wants me to try to send him a return code when a report is succesfully ran from his C++ program.  I can't see any way to do that.  Is this even possible?

Thanks in advance.

I moved your query to the SAP Crystal Reports - Legacy SDKs discussion forum. However this is only a guess that this may be the correct forum...

Please provide the following information:

Exact version of CR.

What CR SDK are you using (RDC, .NET)?

What is the development language you are using?

Is this an application developed in-house, or by a 3rd party (e.g.; do you have the source code)?

And as Ido mentioned, some more meat around the query would be appreciated...

Hi thanks for responding.  I am only using CR 11 R2.  I don't know what SDK my boss is using to write his C++ program.  I haven't got a development language program, only the CR 11 R2.  It is a standard report, uncomplicated.  I send this query:

Select * from BillingDetails, BillingReport, BillingTrunkDetails

Where BillingDetails.ReportID = {?REPORT_ID}

and BillingReport.ReportID = {?REPORT_ID}

and BillingTrunkDetails.ReportID = {?REPORT_ID}

Is there a way to send a return code based on some kind of response within CR??

Thank you again.

There is no way to send "a code for failure or success on execution" from the report file it's self. This would have to be done in the C++ code. My feeling here is that there is a bit of a miscommunication between you and your boss. You may want to clarify what it is he is exactly after.

Thank you so much, I appreciate that.  I had imagined that, that was the case.

There are a couple of ways to achieve this but, first, please clarify the reason behind the request.
