Good Morning,
Razzak, after countless tries of all the combinations of options to print a
report to an ETXT file. I went to the sat application RRBYW15 used the code
(copied and pasted from your email)
PRINT CustomFormLetter WHERE CustID = 128 +
OPTION ETXT +
|FILENAME CustomFormLetter.TXT +
|INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON +
|RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE PLAINTEXT +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +
|OPEN ON
It gave me the same response , the txt file named customformletter.txt when
opened by notepad did not display the rtf object in the report. I know that
you said that it did and I'm sure it did . What could I be doing
This is the code I have used in my database with the same results as above
PRINT cust_CMRKLTR3v2 WHERE jidcode =101 +
OPTION ETXT +
|FILENAME vmemo.TXT+
|INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON+
|RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE PLAINTEXT+
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF+
|OPEN ON
Needing some greatly appreciated help here.
Mike

Very interesting, Mike!
Here's what I did to test the similar scenario on my end:
01. Started R:BASE 7.6 Update 6 (Build: 7.6.6.30315)
02. CONNECted to RRBYW15 (Running R:BASE Your Way! Part 15)
03. Used the following command to PRINT the report with embedded
Rich Text control as Report Emulation Text File (ETXT).
PRINT CustomFormLetter WHERE CustID = 128 +
OPTION ETXT +
|FILENAME CustomFormLetter.TXT +
|INCLUDE_RICHTEXT ON +
|RICHTEXT_ENCODING_TYPE PLAINTEXT +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +
|OPEN ON
The resulting text file (CustomFormLetter.TXT) looks A-OK,
including the RTF contents as plain text.
Using the R:BASE Turbo V-8 Update 20 (8.0.20.30315) also reveals
the same A-OK results.
What version and update are you using?
Hope that gives you some blues clues ....
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak.
