Retrieving a custom format

Running, printing, and viewing a document : Retrieving and viewing data : Retrieving a custom format

Use GetCustomFormat to retrieve a report in a custom format from the View service. GetCustomFormat requests that the View service invoke AcReport::GetCustomFormat and then returns the output file as an attachment. The following example uses the ViewParameter element to define the display format:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>

<Name>/CallingBasic.rptdocument</Name>

</Object>

<Format>Excel</Format>

Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 5.01; Windows NT)

</UserAgent>

<Locale>default</Locale>

</ViewParameter>

<Name>case</Name> <Value>Succeeded</Value>

</Argument>

</ArgumentList>

</GetCustomFormat>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>

The preceding request returns the document as an attachment in the specified custom format.
