Remarks

Other possibilities

InSimulatorMode is used to differentiate between the test mode on the mobile device and on the simulator.
InReportsAndQueriesMode is used to differentiate between the test mode from the report editor and the test mode from Reports & Queries.

GO from Reports & Queries

InTestMode and InReportsAndQueriesMode return True when the test of a report is run from "Reports and Queries" ("GO" button).

We advise you to replace the standard test:

IF InTestMode() = True THEN
Trace("...")
END

by the following test:

IF InTestMode() = True AND InReportsAndQueriesMode() = False THEN
Trace("...")
END

Availability of the function

InTestMode is available for all the products to allow for a multi-product code. Functions or procedures that use InTestMode can be shared between several products without generating any compilation error.
