Re: Print Wizard With Jbase Tutorial

[Charlie Noah]

Thanks, Tony. As usual, you are a source of great knowledge and information! I was going to say font of knowledge, but there seems to be a lot of contention as to whether it's font or fount. Easier to just avoid it altogether. I'll let you know how the testing goes. Charlie On 06-29-2011 1:16 PM, Tony Gravagno wrote: Charlie - Print Wizard is just another printer to your system. If you can setup a physical printer in Windows, or the Windows Fax, then PW isn't any different. The test is to open Notepad or some other common utility, Print, and direct output to PW. If it gets there, you're in business. You can setup multiple virtual printers to be processed by PW, but each one is configured with a different Profile. One might route output to Fax, another to email, another to some physical printer. This powerful featureset can be confusing, and if you're having trouble in that area, the Support team at Rasmussen Software is excellent. As to using it with jBase, again, this is no different from sending output to any other printer using BASIC PRINT statements or jQL with LPTR. The content of your output is what's different, where you inject HTML-style commands into your reports, rather than using @(col) references, in order to generate complex documents.

The end goal is to evaluate it for a D3 system, but I need to get it up and running on Jbase to see what all it can do (lots, I know). I am running Jbase 3.4.7 on XP. I've downloaded and installed the demo version of PW 4.x, and read the manual (fancy that!). It is very thorough and pretty easy to understand. What I really need is a tutorial of some sort to guide a newby step by step in setting it up and getting it to work with Jbase. I work in the Jbase console window (same machine Jbase is installed on) which comes up when you run Jbase, not an emulator. Is there such a tutorial out there somewhere? -- Please read the posting guidelines at: http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE/web/Posting%20Guidelines   IMPORTANT: Type T24: at the start of the subject line for questions specific to Globus/T24   To post, send email to jBASE@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe, send email to jbase-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/jBASE?hl=en
