open report printingopen report printing open report printing with dialog open report printing ¬ with template text
where text is the name of a report template in the current stack. The open report printing command begins the process of printing a stack (or part of a stack) as a report. It uses the current settings from the Print Report dialog box. You must use the close printing command to end a job begun with open report printing. If you specify the with dialog option, HyperCard displays the Print Report dialog box and the user can choose new settings. If you specify the with template option, HyperCard prints the stack with the named report template. HyperCard sets the function the result to Cancel if the user clicks Cancel in the dialog box, to no such report template if you specify a template that doesn’t exist, or to empty in all other cases. Examples-- An example script for printing mailing labels, assuming a -- report template Mailing Labels already exists: on printLabels open report printing with template "Mailing Labels" -- choose template print all cards -- specify what cards to print close printing -- generate the report and print it end printLabels
