Murali,
In 4.6 - you'd want to use a system call:
#STAT = SYSTEM('run_crystal filename.rpt')
Server runs report
or
#STAT = SYSTEM('GUI WINDOWS run_crystal filename.rpt')
Client runs report
In 5.5 you, if it is client based, you can simply do the following:
CLIENT.EXECUTE('filename.rpt')
Due to file associations, it should open in crystal.
hth,
Joseph

I have been trying the same type of call to Crystal and have made it work. These reports exist on a local server instead of my C: drive, but the syntax should be the same.
$PATH = '\\servername\folders\'
$REPORT = 'filename.rpt'
#STATUS = CLIENT.EXECUTE($REPORT,,$PATH,'SW_SHOW')
Even though the above works I have an issue with passing parameters to Crystal. I am using VIP 5.5/Crystal V.10/OS XP. What we are wanting to do is pass parameter(s) to a defined Crystal report.
I am fairly new to PROIV and brand new to Crystal. I have attempted to load the Crystal 10 report viewer OCX into VIP but it errors and will not load properly. I had thought that this might be the answer to passing parameters but since I can't get it to load I am not sure. Has any one else had this problem?

To open a Crystal Report the command must be assigned to a numeric variable, like so.
#X = CLIENT.EXECUTE('C:\proiv50\Reports\chart.rpt')
We have been able to view and refresh Crystal Reports in PROIV by creating an Active control.
#X = CLIENT.EXECUTE('C:\proiv50\Reports\chart.rpt')
