**PrintReport, VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **PrintReport **method is used to determine where a report output will be redirected. Based on the ReportTarget value, the report will be processed via the WMFparser, or as a standard report is handled by the ProcessResultFiles method.

**Member of: [[reportmanager methods.htm|ReportManager]]**

**Implementation:**

The PrintReport method is called by the ReportManager's AskPreview method.

**Example:**

**ReportManager.AskPreview PROCEDURE**

**  CODE**

**  IF NOT SELF.Report &= NULL AND SELF.Response = RequestCompleted**

**    IF SELF.EndReport()=Level:Benign**

**      IF NOT SELF.Preview &= NULL**

**        IF CHOOSE (NOT SELF.SkipPreview, SELF.Preview.Display(SELF.Zoom), TRUE)**

**          SELF.****PrintReport()**** !Print after previewing**

**        ELSE**

**          SELF.CancelPrintReport()**

**        END**

**        FREE(SELF.Preview.ImageQueue)**

**      ELSE**

**        SELF.****PrintReport()   ****!Print without previewing**

**        FREE(SELF.PreviewQueue)**

**      END**
