To run a report, form, or pipeline, you can do any of the following:
Click its button in the toolbar if you defined a toolbar item for the object.
Select it from the Objects menu, which lists all reports, forms, or pipelines in the executable.
If you specified a toolbar button and button text for a report, form, or pipeline, this text displays instead of the report, form, or pipeline object name in the Objects menu.
Click the Reports, Forms, or Pipelines button in the toolbar and select the item in the resulting dialog box.
Running a report or form in an executable file is the same as running a report or a form in InfoMaker.
When a report is retrieving data
The number of rows retrieved displays in MicroHelp and the
Retrieve button changes to a Cancel button. You can click the Cancel
button at any time to stop retrieval.
When you run a pipeline in an application, the Pipeline window displays. You can then execute the pipeline manually or specify delayed execution. Advanced users of the application can redefine a pipeline object if you provide them information about how to do this.
For information about executing a pipeline and redefining a pipeline object in the application, see “Using a pipeline in an application”.
For information about previewing reports, see “Using the Preview view of a report”.
For information about running forms that use built-in InfoMaker form styles, see “Working with forms”.
For information about running forms using a style created by a PowerBuilder developer at your organization, see the developer.
