Juan: For a once-a-day procedure, I would really recommend that you instead
set up a system Scheduled Task instead. Your scheduled task can call a
batch file to run RBase and call a specific program such as this (this is out of
memory so syntax might not be right):
c:\rbti\rbg95\rbg95.exe o:\databasedirctory\runprocedure.rmd

Subject: [RBASE-L] - Running on background
Hi,
I'am using 9.5 (32), I need to run an automatic process every day at 03:00AM
on a PC (like a server) to update some tables and generate a event log about
it.
I try to use a form like a "waiting screen" with the information of:
- the next moment to run.
- the event log updated (using a enhanced DB Grid)
- a STOP button to cancel the waiting loop.
The loop to wait is this:
SET VAR vmomentoproceso=(DATETIME(.vfechaproceso, .vhoraproceso))
-- Se mantiene en un loop hasta alcanzar el momento de proceso
LABEL inicio
WHILE (DATETIME(.#DATE, .#TIME)) < .vmomentoproceso THEN
PAUSE FOR 60
ENDWHILE
.
... The process here...
.
I put the entire command on after start EEP.
The screen freeze and I can't use the screen form (to stop, see the event
log, etc).
Please, any idea how to manage it?
Thanks.
Juan Otazú
