Send a report, but change the filename according to caller

My customers has grown tired by the filename 'Axapta report' in class Info -> method reportsend().

 I need to change the filename to the name of the caller. But how do I find the caller in class Info -> Method reportsend() ?

I need to change the filename "online" and not in batch.

MBS has suggested the following place to modify the filename:

AOT\Class\Classes\Info\reportSendMail()

But at runtime i cant really find anything about the caller from inside the reportSendMail() method. There seems to be no args. So maybe its impossible to get the caller form from this method?

========
Let's see if it works this time.... (it's only the SIXTH time that I try to post this answer :( )

There seems to be no way to get a reference to the ReportRun object; the method PrintJobSettings.ReportRun always seems to return null in reportSendMail.
You could set a property of PrintJobSettings in your report and use that to fill the filename.
Another possible solution (no guarantees) is the following:

Add the following to infolog.reportSendMail:

if (globalCache.isSet(curuserid(),classidget(p1)))
    {
        fileName = globalCache.get(curuserid(),classidget(p1));
        globalCache.remove(curuserid(),classidget(p1));
    }



And to the method SysReportRun.print add the next code (before calling super).

SysGlobalCache  globalCache = infolog.globalCache();
    ;

Mark All for Open Cust Trans and Open Vend Trans

We have situations where there are lots of open transactions that need to be settled against each other. This can be the case if auto settlement is turned off. One solution is to add a "Mark All" button to the custOpenTrans or vendOpenTrans forms. This button "checks" the mark checkbox on every line. The user can then uncheck several lines if needed and Update to settle the lines. The code below is an example of what we used on the open vendor transaction screen. The code is very similar on the AR side. One note: I used vendTable.AccountNum in the code below. That should be generalized to work with any buffer that is passed into the open trans form. void customMarkAll() { VendTransOpen localVendTransOpen; VendTrans localVendTrans; container conSum; int linesProcessed; ; //show wait cursor startLengthyOperation(); element.lock(); //remove all prior markings specOffsetVoucher.deleteSpe...
