Arguments

Argument Description
sReportId ID of the report. Can be ID of the main report or the ID of a sub-report. This argument can be passed as an empty string. The empty string can be written as C_USEMAINDRREPORTID.

Description

Returns whether the used data source is based on DataFlex, ODBC, Runtime Data Source, or SQLite-based data. ODBC data can be divided into standard ODBC data, data from a stored procedure, or an SQL statement.

The use of DatabaseMainType and DatabaseSubType is preferred over using the result of this function for determining which database type is used.

A report must be opened before this function can be called; otherwise, an error is generated.

This method cannot be used before the report OCX object is initialized. The COM object creation is performed as part of the OpenReport method if not done beforehand.

DataFlex Framework Usage

  • Web
  • Windows
  • FlexTron
