|
Value |
Target |
|
0 |
Window |
|
1 |
Printer |
|
2 |
Printer file |
|
3 |
Default |
|
4 |
HTML file |
|
5 |
CGI Response |
The Default output is to a window. When rendering to a window, only one page at a time is rendered.
If you designate Printer file, HTML file, or CGI Response, the report’s outputFilename property must be set to the name of the target file.
The CGI Response option allows HTML report output to be streamed directly out to Web servers. Reports which have been compiled and built into executables (.EXEs) can be called and run directly from a URL typed into the Web browser. In the design environment, the CGI Response option behaves identically to the HTML File output option in that the report output is written to outputFilename. In the runtime environment, outputFilename is ignored and the HTML output is automatically streamed to stdout.
