Printing Tables

Printing table output with WSPrint.

In this example, we will print output in a table format using wsprint. The process is as follows.

1. Create a new function to contain the operation. In this example we will name our function 'printAligntTest()'.
2. Define the printer that we will use. In this case, we will use the built-in XPS Document Writer.
3. Once the printer is defined, specify the margins and place them into an array.
4. Specify the output font and size. In this example, we chose Times New Roman and set the size to 15.
5. Call the print function, passing the font and margin values as arguments.
6. Add the table rows. Each row is created as a variable and the rows are then passed to an array which is in turn passed to the tablePrint() function.
7. Run the function.

The script is shown below.

      System.LoadFile('wsprint.js');

 function printAlignTest() {
     var a, b;
    try {
	    a = new Printer('Microsoft XPS Document Writer'); 
		
		var iTOP = 20;
		var iBOTTOM = 20;
	    var iLEFT = 20;
		var iRIGHT =  20;

		var pMargin = [iTOP, iBOTTOM, iLEFT, iRIGHT];
		var aFont={type:"Times New Roman", size:15};
    a.print({font:aFont, margin:pMargin });	
		
		var row1= ['One','two','three'];
		var row2=['four','five','six'];
		var tablerows=[row1,row2];
		a.tablePrint(tablerows);
	
	}
	catch(err){
      System.TraceOutput(err);
    }
 }

printAlignTest();
