Thereis one more issue to resolve, now that we?re going with PRNSETUP ?Adobe
PDF?and PRINT.. OPTION PRINTER
Twolovely features of the R:Base OPTION PDF is that you can automatically
assign a file name and open it.The client in my case wanted the file sent
tospecifica network directory and to get a name describing the the report
andwhen it was printed.When I was usingOPTION PDF, this was my code:
--Create file name BMAAddressPhoneListmmmyyyy.PDF in directory F:\PDFReports:
SETVAR eMonthName TEXT = (SGET(TMON(.#DATE),3,1))
SETVAR eYear TEXT = (CTXT(IYR(.#DATE)))
SETVAR eFileName TEXT =
("F:\PDFReports\BMAAddressPhoneList"+.eMonthName+.eYear+".PDF")
--createprint command
SETVAR ePrintCommand = +
("PRINTTAddrTelephoneLis2 ORDER BY FullName OPTION PDF |FILENAME" +
&.eFileName +
&"|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOGOFF |OPEN"& .eOpen)
---execute command
&ePrintCommand
Nowthat I?m using OPTION PRINTER, the ?OPEN ON? options is no longer
available,noris the auto file name.When the PRINT command executes, Windows
andAdobe take over and prompt for a file name.
Iknow, IF I can get the filename setautomatically, I could then OPEN the file
after printing with
LAUNCH.eFileName
Thequestion is:Is there any way in R:Base to get the Adobe filename
automatically setwith the variable above?I don?t see any such option either
with thePRNSETUP command or the PRINT .. OPTION PRINTER command in 7.6.
Ideas?
