Robert,
I tried it on my end and the option TIFF works, TIF causes the report to
print to the screen instead.  This is my test code:

PRINT escofc WHERE jonum = 37670 +
OPTION TIFF +
|SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG value +
|FILENAME test.tif +
|MONOCHROME ON +
|COMPRESSION group4 +
|MULTIPAGE OFF +
|OPEN OFF

Use TIFF and check your variables.  I'm not using any in this example,
but I did try it substituting &vfilename for test.tif and it also
worked.

Subject: [RBG7-L] - Print to a TIFF File

 

 

Hi to all Rworkinghard Rbase Users

 

 

I have a report which from time to time I need to print as a TIFF file,
but I have some trouble with that for example

 

If I do This

 

PRINT flashCover WHERE RecordId = .vRecordId +

 OPTION tif +

 |filename .vflash +

 |SHOW_CANCEL_DIALOG OFF +

 |monochrome ON +

 |compression group4 +

 |multipage OFF +

 |open OFF

 

It will Print to the Screen but NOT to the file, I tried to take most of
the options off, to no avail



Finally I tried 



PRINT flashCover WHERE RecordId = .vRecordId +

 OPTION tif +

 |filename test +

 |open OFF



Still did not  work



What I am missing here ?



PS:  looking to the PRINT COMMAND help file, I found a simple sample on
page
25 which have the word TIFF as an OPTION , if you use that the file will
not be created and a long message will appear, use TIF instead, ditto
with the PDF Rbase documents "From the edge"



:) perhaps in the next help file revision we may correct that.



Robert
