During runtime, select Print Data (Ctrl+P) from the Options menu to start the Print Data Wizard.
If you want to set the column order and delimiters before the data is printed, click Next to open the Column Selection dialog box.
The Column Selection dialog box includes the following fields:
|
|
|
|
Type
|
You can print the data displayed on the screen in HTML, XML, or Text format. Data can be sent to the printer, printed to file, or opened in an external application. To send data to the printer, select the Create and Print file action and Open Printer Dialog.
|
|
File Name
|
When printing data to a file, select the Create action and specify the file path name. If no path is specified, the file is created in the Magic xpa home directory. Search for the file path name by zooming from the field.
You can display the data in an external application assigned to the data's file type by selecting the Create and Open File action. For example, an HTML file that has a .DOC extension will be opened in Microsoft Word.
|
|
Template
|
You can specify a template for an HTML or XML file. For an XML template, select an XSL file. Template files specified in this field override the default files selected in the Print Data HTML Template and Print Data XML Template environment settings. If this field is left blank, Magic xpa automatically uses the default HTML and XML template files.
|
|
Action
|
The available actions are: Create File, and Create and Open File.
|
|
XSD File
|
You can create an XSD file when you specify the data to be displayed in XML format. When the Create Schema File check box is selected, Magic xpa creates the XSD file in the location specified in the Print Data XML Template environment setting. The XSD file has the same name as the XML file. For more information, see XSD Data Types.
