close

close(): Integer updating;

The close method of the Printer class sends all buffered output to the printer or the preview file. (The preview file becomes available for browsing at this point.) A Printer category global constant is returned, indicating the result of this method (for example, Print_Successful).

An exception is raised if this method is invoked from a server method.

The code fragment in the following example shows the use of the close method.

app.printer.print(lett.heading);
printLetterText(app.printer, lett);
// The close method sends all buffered output to the preview file.
// The preview file becomes available for browsing at this point.
app.printer.close;
epilog
    delete lett;            // Deletes the transient form instance
end;

The destructor invokes the close method when you delete a printer object.
