Request Report Intrinsics HP ALLBASE/BRW includes a program called BRWSTART which allows you to request HP ALLBASE/BRW or report job files, using the screens set up by HP ALLBASE/BRW for the purpose. You can use the request report intrinsics described here to call BRWSTART and therefore to access the Request Report, Select Report, and Online Review screens from within your application program. The following diagram shows how the request report intrinsics operate.This table is a quick overview of the request report intrinsics: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | Intrinsic Name Description | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | | BRWINITREQUEST This intrinsic initializes the parameter REQUEST_COMAREA. | | Parameter REQUEST_COMAREA is used by all the request report | | intrinsics. | | | | BRWSTARTREQUEST This intrinsic creates a son process and runs the BRWSTART | | program. It can also pass information about the default values | | of selections and parameters. | | | | The actual values are entered by the user on the HP ALLBASE/BRW | | screens called by BRWSTART. | | | | BRWSTOPREQUEST This intrinsic halts the BRWSTART program. | | | | A program that calls the Request Report intrinsics must allocate | | a data area for communication with the intrinsics. This data | | area is the parameter REQUEST_COMAREA. This parameter (or items | | within it) is used by all the Request Report intrinsics. | | | | The structure of the REQUEST_COMAREA is shown below the | | description of the BRWINITREQUEST intrinsic. All parameters are | | integer-array reference parameters and have word addresses. | | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The next sections give the syntax and other information about these intrinsics.
