Report Export

A .p file in your UD directory that contains something similar to below
should do what you describe. On my Report PC I do the same (eg
V:\PROGRESS\bin\prowin32.exe -db V:\VANTAGE\DB\VANTAGE.DB -N TCP -H
X.X.X.X -S EPIC50 -p V:\vantage\ud\AReport.p), and then a few minutes later
have a ScriptIT routine that inserts the contents of the TXT file into a
mail message. Formatting the output of the RB report is the only messy bit.

RUN v:\progress\gui\aderb\_printrb(
"v:\vantage\ud\Reports.prl", /* RB-REPORT-LIBRARY
*/
"Report A", /* RB-REPORT-NAME */
"", /* RB-DB-CONNECTION */
"", /* RB-INCLUDE-RECORDS
*/
"", /* RB-FILTER */
"", /* RB-MEMO-FILE */
"A", /*
RB-PRINT-DESTINATION */
"", /* RB-PRINTER-NAME */
"", /* RB-PRINTER-PORT */
"C:\VntgWork\ReportA.Txt", /* RB-OUTPUT-FILE */
0, /* RB-NUMBER-COPIES -
zero */
0, /* RB-BEGIN-PAGE -
zero */
0, /* RB-END-PAGE - zero
*/
no, /* RB-TEST-PATTERN */
"", /* RB-WINDOW-TITLE */
yes, /* RB-DISPLAY-ERRORS
*/
yes, /* RB-DISPLAY-STATUS
*/
no, /* RB-NO-WAIT */
""). /* RB-OTHER-PARAMETERS
*/

QUIT

PS You could add something like <<<MESSAGE "Report exported to
C:\VntgWork\ReportA.Txt".>>> if you wanted to provide a little user
feedback. It is well worth your while downloading a couple of the Progress
PDF files.

Is there a way to put a menu item in the Vantage Menu Structure that will
allow a user to Export
a Report Builder Report to a file rather than print it?

We set up a generic text printer to print to file. You can set up RB reports on the vantage menu structure and click off the print preview. I think you also have to set this printer up in the Report from Report Builder. This will send the report to a prn file. We use Monarch to convert and also to modify the file. once you have exported the file, you can change the extension to txt. To add a report to the vantage menu structure, I save it as it's own library and add it to the custom report menu, then set it up on the vantage menu tree using the menu structure maintenance.
Hope this helps.
