Example

Executing the example requires that the repository contains a data entry form, for which the specified macro is set as an executable method for a custom button.

Add links to the Dimensions, Metabase, Report system assemblies. Add links to the assemblies required for working with data entry forms.

Public Sub CreateDEF(Report: IPrxReport);
Var
    DEFParent, DEFormDesc: IMetabaseObjectDescriptor;
Begin
    DEFParent := (Report As IMetabaseObject).Parent.Parent;
    DEFormDesc := DataEntryForm.CreateInputForm("New data entry form", "NEW_DEF", DEFParent.Key);
End Sub CreateDEF;

When the macro is executed, a new data entry form is created. The data entry form is saved in the same folder, which contains the current data entry form, which uses the custom button.
