Displaying rowset and non-rowset information

Rowset information is presented on the page in tabular form, and non-rowset information is presented in list form. You can use your browser's Save As functionality to save the page to your local computer.

Displaying retrieved rows and values on the report

The following two subtitles display the retrieved number of rows and the values in the diagnostic report:

• The following rows were retrieved:

• The following values were retrieved:

The titles are hidden by default. If you want to display the retrieved rows or the values, then you need to invoke the following methods in the plug-in to display the titles and the information on the report. The methods are:

• To retrieve rows, add the code:

  &stat = %Super.SetProperty(%This, "DisplayRows", "Boolean", True);

• To retrieve values, add the code:

  &stat = %Super.SetProperty(%This, "DisplayValues", "Boolean", True);

Displaying hyperlinks on the report

If you want to display a hyperlink on the report then add the following code to the plug-in:

&status = %Super.InsertData("Link", "For More Information:","<a href='http://www.google.ca' target='_blank'>go here</a>");  

In the above code:

• “For More Information:” is the static text on the report before the link.

• <a href='http://www.google.ca' target='_blank'> is the link that will open in a new window.

• go here</a>" is the text which is linked.

Using Font Color to Distinguish Text in Reports

Diagnostic Framework reports in HTML format support four text colors to distinguish between information, errors, and warnings. To support the text colors you will need to add respective methods in the extended plug-in code. The text type, text color and the code are described below:

Information Description	Text Color	Code
Normal text	Black	&status = %Super.InsertData("String ", " your subject ", " Country Code (3-character ISO format) - optional ");
Information	Green	&status = %Super.InsertData("info ", " your subject ", " Country Code (3-character ISO format) - optional ");
Errors	Red	&status = %Super.InsertData("Error", "your subject ", " Country Code (3-character ISO format) - optional ");
Warnings	Yellow	&status = %Super.InsertData("warning ", " your subject ", " Country Code (3-character ISO format) - optional ");
