I want my invoice created to file an not printed to screen.
Is there anything else that I have to do with the printjobsettings to get it
to work? Tried this job where I set the filename, format and printmedium but
it still just prints to screen.

static void job(Args _args)
{
CustInvoiceJour InvJTbl;
SalesId Id;
ReportRun report;
RecordSortedList List = new RecordSortedList(62);
SalesFormLetter_Invoice SalesFormLetter;
;
salesformletter = new SalesFormLetter_Invoice(false);

Id = "100000002";

Select InvJTbl Where InvJTbl.SalesId == Id;
List.ins(InvJTbl);
report = new ReportRun(new Args(ReportStr(SalesInvoice)));
report.args().caller(null);
report.args().object(List);
report.printJobSettings().setTarget(PrintMedium::File);
report.printJobSettings().format(PrintFormat::PDF);
report.printJobSettings().fileName("C:\\Temp\\Test.pdf");
report.run();

}

Hi there,

Check this out, it will help you:
http://www.axaptapedia.com/Printer_Settings_and_Run_From_Code
Remember to pack/unpack the printersettings at the end.

I would advise trying it with a simple report first (like cust), because the
reason it doesn't work is probably because you printersettings are
overwritten in the report itself.
See fetch() method of the salesInvoice report:
salesFormLetterReport.loadPrintSettings(...).
Here, your settings are overwritten with setup (I don't know where this is
set up...).

Hope this helps,
Best regards,
Klaas.

Thanks for helping me out here. It was correct that my code was overwritten
in the fetchmethod. I moved my printersettings to fetch and now it works just
fine.

You shouldn't need to change anything in the fetch() method in this case.
All you need to do is pass your printJobSettings into the SalesFormLetter
class and pass that class as the caller (instead you're setting the caller to
null). The salesFormLetterReport.loadPrintSettings(...) call will unpack the
printer settings in the salesFormLetter class passed as the caller.
