Testing the RDP report

In this recipe, we will explain about testing the RDP class using the code. The RDP class can be tested even without hooking it to a report. This has the advantage of testing it faster and ensuring that it works reliably before connecting it to a report. This topic is explained in details in a later chapter.

How to do it…

1. Create a new job as shown in the code here:

   static void TestInterestCalcRDP(Args _args) 
   { 
       //initialize contract 
       PktInterestCalcContract cont = new PktInterestCalcContract(); 
         PktInterestCalcDp dp; 
       //fill the contract 
       cont.parmAmount(2000); 
       cont.parmInterest(10); 
       cont.parmYear(5); //instantiate 
       dp = new PktInterestCalcDp(); 
       //pass the contract 
       dp.parmDataContract(cont); 
       //fill the table 
       dp.processReport(); 
   }

2. Change the temporary table used for this RDP to a persistent table by setting the table type property as Regular.
3. Run the job and verify that the data is filled in the table. If...
