SYMPTOMS
========
When the NOWAIT clause is present in the REPORT FORM command, printing a report
by clicking the printer icon in the report preview window will not print
according to the filter setting, rather, it prints all the records.
CAUSE
=====
The filter setting is not retained due to the NOWAIT keyword.
RESOLUTION
==========
- Remove the NOWAIT clause from the end of the REPORT FORM command.
-or-
- Create a cursor with the filter setting before calling the REPORT FORM
command.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.

Steps to Reproduce Behavior
---------------------------
1. Create a table by running the following code:
CREATE TABLE cust ( Name C(10), State C(2))
INSERT INTO cust VALUES ("Smith", "MA")
INSERT INTO cust VALUES ("Mary", "AL")
INSERT INTO cust VALUES ("Tom", "MA")
INSERT INTO cust VALUES ("Joe", "MA")
INSERT INTO cust VALUES ("Tomi", "CA")
INSERT INTO cust VALUES ("John", "CA")
INSERT INTO cust VALUES ("Linda", "MA")
2. Create a quick report based on the preceding table. Save the report as
Cust.frx.
3. Create a program (.prg) and place the following code in the .prg file:
DEFINE WINDOW wShowInq ;
FROM 0,0 TO 10,10 ;
SYSTEM ;
ZOOM ;
TITLE [&tcTitle.]
ZOOM WINDOW wShowInq MAX
USE cust
*-- Comment the NOWAIT clause to obtain the expected results.
REPORT FORM cust FOR State = "MA" PREVIEW NOWAIT
4. Save the program and run it.
When the Print Preview appears, only all the "MA" records are in the print
preview.
1. Click the Printer button on the Report Preview toolbar to print the report.
You will see all the records are printed in the hard copy of the report.
