Answer 1

You cannot place C/AL code directly on RTC Reports — instead you should use the triggers behind DataItems in the ‘Classic’ client/Development Environment, as this code is common to both Classic and RTC reports, and executed when the report is run in either environment.

To use a similar example;

Vendor - OnAfterGetRecord()
----------------------------

...

IF Vendor."Phone No." = '' THEN BEGIN
  Vendor."Phone No." := NewPhoneNo;
  Vendor.MODIFY;
END;

...

You may want to set the following properties on the report itself to hide the print dialog, as well as the request form (assuming you don’t want filters applied):

UseReqForm := FALSE;
ProcessingOnly := TRUE;

Another important thing to note is that code sitting behind sections is only used for Classic reports and won’t be executed if running in the RTC (which may explain unexpected results).
