UseTemporary Property (Report)

  • Article

Version: Available from runtime version 1.0.

Sets whether a temporary table is used to store the data set that is returned for columns of a data item.

Applies to

  • Report data items

Property Value

True to use a temporary table; otherwise, false. The default value is false.

Syntax

UseTemporary = true;

Remarks

A temporary table is used as a buffer or intermediate storage for data. A temporary table is not stored in the database, but is only held in memory until the report is closed. A temporary table is useful when the column data is not mapped directly to a field in the database but is instead the result of a process or operation, such as an aggregation of data from several columns. If a temporary table is not used, the data must be handled by AL code.

For an example of the use of the UseTemporary property, see report 1306 in the CRONUS International Ltd. demonstration database.
