Have you tried tracing the process to makes sure if the LAUNCH command itself is not executing or if it aborting before then?
Have you tried turning messages and error messages on to see if you get nay warnings? Also, I have had luck in the past creating the command as variable and using it with the LAUNCH command: Instead of: Launch G:\RBTI\UPS\ErrorDoc.pdf Use: SET VAR vMyLaunch TEXT = ‘G:\RBTI\UPS\ErrorDoc.pdf’ LAUNCH &vMyLaunch Javier, Javier Valencia, PE O: 913-829-0888 H: 913-397-9605 C: 913-915-3137 From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 4:04 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Oterro / Stored Procedure question One of those days.. :( I have an urgent project with a very short time constraint and am not having much luck today. What's new in Oterro 8 lists : 1.2 R:BASE Turbo V-8 Fully compatible with R:BASE Turbo V-8 specific enhancements · New #NOW System Variable · Support for Stored Procedures and AFTER Triggers · Support for LAUNCH Command · Support for LAUNCH Command in Stored Procedure/Triggers However I cannot get LAUNCH to work in an insert trigger with Oterro. If I add a record to the triggered table from the R> with an insert command, the stored procedure runs and the LAUNCH command in the stored procedure works as expected. When Oterro adds a record to the same table, the store procedure does run, but the Launch command does not execute. My command is : Launch G:\RBTI\UPS\ErrorDoc.pdf Is my syntax correct? (the .pdf extension is correct as it works from the R> insert) I have also tried other document formats such as jpg etc. I have an absolute requirement to display a screen message if certain data requirements are not met with the Oterro foreign data insert. I can collect and test the data, in the stored procedure/trigger, but have not found a way to display the screen message. When Oterro inserts a record, data is checked and if not correct, the message must display real time on the monitor of the processing computer. Any other possible, reasonably quick solutions? I am hoping I am missing something with the above syntax with Oterro. The Launch command would be perfect if I can figure it out. Otherwise, I have found no other way to display this message. Thanks, it is much appreciated.
