This event will be called for all report execution types, including those via:
- Execution in the web app process (remote execution disabled)
- Remote execution
- Scheduled execution (including those using the Scheduler Queue)
- Batch scheduled executions
- GetExecute()

Expected Return
The OnReportExecuteStart Event expects a string to be returned. Based on the return string there are three possible results.
- Null / Whitespace — If the string is null or whitespace then the report execution will continue as expected.
- LanguageId — If the string matches the id of any element in the language files then the string of that language element will be displayed as a message to the user and the report execution will terminate. For more information see Multi-Language Support.
- Other — If the string does not match the id of any element in the language files then the returned value will be displayed as a message to the user and the report execution will terminate.
Notes
The report being executed can be accessed through the sessionInfo object by using sessionInfo.Report.
