Forces the program to evaluate the formula while it is printing database record data.
Formulas are normally evaluated at the following times:
WhilePrintingRecords forces the formula to be evaluated while the program prints database records.
This function can also force a formula that includes no database fields and no group fields to process while printing records instead of before reading records. It will also force a formula that includes database fields to process while printing records instead of while reading records.
The following examples are applicable to Crystal syntax:
3* Sum ({file.QTY1}, {file.QTY2})
Forces the formula (which contains a group) to be evaluated at its normal time (while printing records).
Forces the formula (which contains no database fields or groups), to be evaluated later than it would normally be evaluated. In this case, it causes the formula to be evaluated while printing records instead of before reading records.
Note: Using this function in a formula forces the formula to be evaluated at print time. For more information on evaluation time considerations, see Evaluation Time functions.
