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();
    ;

I am trying to print sales confirmation report on a button click which I have added on Sales Order Detail form in Microsoft Dynamics AX 2009.

What does this mean: "The form datasource query object does not support changing its AllowCrossCompany property after the form has executed the query."?

I have made a form with datasources vendtable and vendtrans. Inside vendtable_ds.executequery() looks like this: QueryBuildDataSource queryBuildDatasource ,queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice; ; queryBuildDatasource = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtable)); queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice = this.query().dataSourceTable(tablenum(vendtrans)); if (curext() == "MASTERCOMP") { this.query().allowCrossCompany(true); } else { this.query().allowCrossCompany(false); } //FilterVendorName = stringedit control on form if (FilterVendorName.text()) { queryBuildDatasource.addRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)).value(strfmt("*%1*", FilterVendorName.text())); } else { queryBuildDatasource.clearRange(fieldNum(VendTable,Name)); } //FilterInvoiceNumber = stringedit control on form if (FilterInvoiceNumber.valueStr() == "") { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(false); } else { queryBDS_VendTrans_Invoice.enabled(true); queryBDS_VendTrans_In...

calculate total sales order or sales quotation amount / discounts / tax etc., through code( X++ ) in AX

this can be achieved through code using SalesTotals class. Check out the below code snippet. SalesTotals   salesTotals; SalesTable   salesTable; container   displayFields; str     totalTax, amountWithoutTax, amountInclTax; salesTable = salesTable::find('SO-1112345'); salesTotals = SalesTotals::construct(salesTable, salesUpdate::All); salesTotals.calc(); displayFields = salesTotals.displayFieldsCurrency( salesTotals.currencyCode() ); amountWithoutTax = conpeek(displayFields, TradeTotals ::posBalance()); amountInclTax   = conpeek(displayFields, TradeTotals::posTotalAmount()); totalTax    = conpeek(displayFields,TradeTotals::posTaxTotal()); In the above way, we can get all the values available in the totals form in the Sales Order Form by changing the TradeTotals values. We can get the values in the desired currency by providing a valid currency as a parameter to the displayFieldsCurr...
