With some header merged in the WBS, the scenarios windows displayed and error at opening time.
API call failed when GetPDFFromReport() function was invoked under an overhead-type report.

Now, when you pass variables trough the URL you can add two verbs, anywhere in the list of variables. these verbs are: 'SaveEstimate' and 'ComputeSellingPrices'. They must be passed as you pass variables and their values, the syntax is as follows:
{the verb;the value}. The value must be 'yes' to trigger the operation. Unlike variables, verbs and values are not case sensitive.
See below the new syntax in 'Open' function. this can be used with all functions as soon as you pass variables in the URL.

Notice that operations are carried out at opening time in the order they appear in the URL. In above example, selling prices are computed before estimate is saved.
