You can use a DataStore to print data on a remote server if the server is running on Windows or Solaris.
Platform note
The following example
would not work on HP-UX or AIX. On these platforms, EAServer uses a windows-free version
of the PowerBuilder runtime environment that does not provide support
for graphical operations such as printing. Printing using DataStore
print functions is currently supported only on Solaris. However,
DataStore objects can be printed on all UNIX platforms using the SaveAs function
with the PDF SaveAsType.
For more information, see “Printing to PDF”.
In this example, the server component uo_employees has a function called print_employees. print_employees generates an instance of the DataStore ds_datastore, and then prints the contents of this DataStore.
Here is the signature of the print_employees function:
print_employees( ) returns integer
Here is the script for the print_employees function:
datastore ds_datastore int li_rc ds_datastore = create datastore ds_datastore.dataobject = "d_empdata" ds_datastore.SetTransObject (SQLCA) ds_datastore.Retrieve() li_rc = ds_datastore.Print() return li_rc
