Base


The command has two parameters :

The operator CENPyOlpProgramModifyOperator

A path-string, at least as an empty string.

 

PDF_BaseCommand

 

A third parameter can be the set and order of the desired columns of the report.



Operator


The operator CENPyOlpProgramModifyOperator is already in the call of ModifyActiveProgram and will be just passed to the report command, to get all the necessary accesses to functions, methods and calls of the operator.

 

PDF_BaseCommand
