PL_Load / PL_Save
PL_Load (areaRef:L; XML:T) -> result:L
Parameter
Type
Description
’’ areaRef
longint
Reference of PrintList Pro object on layout
’’ XML
text
XML data that was saved using the PL_Save
command
‘‘ result
longint
0 if the XML was loaded OK; 1 if not
Initialize an area from an XML (using UTF-8) text that was saved to a text field or variable
using the PL_Save command or AL_Save (from AreaList Pro).
PL_Load can be used without any other command use (e.g. no defined columns - they
will be read from the XML).
Do not call PL_Load more than once for the same area: it is not intended for that and
many properties are not reinitialized to defaults.
Example
This example initializes a PrintList Pro area using settings that were saved into a field in
the database.
$err:=PL_Load (area;[Settings]PLP_template)
PL_Save (areaRef:L; XML:T) -> result:L
Parameter
Type
Description
’’ areaRef
longint
Reference of PrintList Pro object on layout
’’ XML
text
A variable or field to save an area’s XML settings into
‘‘ result
longint
0 if the XML was saved OK; 2 if not
Save an area’s settings as XML (using UTF-8) in a text variable or field.
Use PL_Save after configuring the area but before printing. PrintList Pro modifies properties
during printing - you would not get the original settings.
Example
Save a PrintList Pro area’s settings into a field in the database.
C_TEXT($Settings)
$err:=PL_Save (area;$Settings)
[Settings]PLP_template:=$Settings
