ReportsFolder - cDRReport ¶

Method Type¶

Function

Return Type¶

Arguments¶

None

Description¶

This function returns the default reports folder location. The default folder is a folder named Reports in the workspace root folder (e.g., c:\examples\weborder\reports\). The function is used by the ReportCacheFolder function and indirectly by the ReportCacheFileName function.

The path ends on a backslash, e.g., c:\examples\weborder\reports\.

An empty string is returned if there is no such folder or if there is no cApplication object.

Augment this method when the workspace does not contain a folder named Reports (as a sibling of Data, AppHtml, etc.).
