Here is how I am currently doing it:
if self._hasPackingSlips():
reportWriter = ReportWriter()
fname = reportWriter.OutputFile = reportUtils.getTempFile(ext="pdf")
reportWriter.ReportFormFile = "PackingSlips.rfxml"
oli_biz = self.ordersBizobj.orderLineItemsBizobj
for orderLineItem in oli_biz.bizIterator():
if oli_biz.getFieldVal("item_product_type") ==
"Product Kit" and oli_biz.getFieldVal("item_print_packing_slip"):
for i in range(oli_biz.getFieldVal("quantity")):
self.packingSlipReportBizobj.setItemID(oli_biz.getFieldVal("item_id"))
reportWriter.Cursor =
self.packingSlipReportBizobj.getDataSet()
reportWriter.write(save=False)
for dataSet in
self.packingSlipReportBizobj.getSubAssemblyPackingSlipDataSets():
reportWriter.Cursor = dataSet
reportWriter.write(save=False)
reportWriter.save()
reportUtils.previewPDF(fname)
Note that I am changing the report's cursor object and then writing
without saving. I would think you should be able to change the
ReportFormFile as well and just go down the list and then call save at
the end. The reportWriter's write method just heaps printed bands on
the pile and shouldn't erase anything.
Regards,
Nate
