**ProcessResultFiles (**//OutputFileQueue// )**, VIRTUAL**

{{blk2blue.jpg|blk2blue.jpg}}

The **ProcessResultFiles**** **virtual** **method is provided as an entry point to process the contents of the //OutputFileQueue// before the queue is freed and the report is either saved to disk in one of several formats, or sent to the printer.

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

**Implementation:**

The ProcessResultFiles method is called by the ReportManager's PrintReport method. By default, the method returns Level:Benign. If any other value is returned, the report's printing will be aborted.

**Return Data Type:     **BYTE

**Example:**

**ReportManager.PrintReport         PROCEDURE()**

**Rt      BYTE**

**lIndex  SHORT**

**  CODE**

**! Used select the target at the beginning if this is not a standard report**

**   IF NOT SELF.ReportTarget &= NULL THEN**

**    IF RECORDS(SELF.PreviewQueue) THEN**

**     IF SELF.ReportTarget.SupportResultQueue()=True THEN**

**      SELF.ReportTarget.SetResultQueue(SELF.OutputFileQueue)**

**     END**

**! The false parameter means that the AskProperties must ask for a name**

**! only if the target name is blank**

**     IF SELF.ReportTarget.AskProperties(False)=Level:Benign THEN**

**      SELF.WMFParser.Init(SELF.PreviewQueue, SELF.ReportTarget, SELF.Errors)**

**      IF SELF.WMFParser.GenerateReport()=Level:Benign THEN**

**       IF SELF.ReportTarget.SupportResultQueue()=True THEN**

**        Rt = SELF.****ProcessResultFiles****(SELF.OutputFileQueue) !after generating**

**       END**

**      END**

**     END**

**    END**

**   ELSE**

**    FREE(SELF.OutputFileQueue)**

**    LOOP lIndex=1 TO RECORDS(SELF.PreviewQueue)**

**     GET(SELF.PreviewQueue,lIndex)**

**     IF NOT ERRORCODE() THEN**

**      SELF.OutputFileQueue.FileName = SELF.PreviewQueue.FileName**

**      ADD(SELF.OutputFileQueue)**

**     END**

**    END**

**    !prior to flushing to printer**

**    IF SELF.****ProcessResultFiles****(SELF.OutputFileQueue)=Level:Benign THEN **

**     SELF.Report{PROP:FlushPreview} = True**

**    ELSE**

**     SELF.Report{PROP:FlushPreview} = FALSE**

**    END**

**   END**
