Hi all,
Has anyone gone down the PDF route to print/email documents such as invoices
directly from U2.
I've seen lots of packages out there that allow dynamic pdf prints based on
data passed.
Some require a VB.net shell which reads the data file then builds the pdf
document.
As an example
Does anyone know if I can call a SQL stored procedure using the
SQLExecDirect command?
Thanks

Andy,
its not the exact solution you describe but it may be simpler to use
from BASIC. We sell a native PDF generator for U2 (no shells, or
external programs just BASIC subroutines to call).
Have a look at www.cross.net.au/pdf.asp if you are interested.

Craig Bennett

Is this a limitation on I-types in SQL selects?
It would seem so based on your report. What does support have to say?
Has anyone come across this problem before and is there a work around?

Yes, you can call a stored procedure using the SQLExecDirect function, provided
everything has been set up right (variables bound to the arguments and result
columns, etc.). Note that there are two syntaxes, one with curly braces, the
other with CALL. Your database may expect one or the other
Hey Andy - I have used the unix utils that convert a txt file to a
postscript (txt2ps) file and then a postscript to a pdf (ps2pdf) . These
where for fairly simply formatted text files. You can also run an xsl

above tools

Check out mvPDF at www.brianleach.co.uk
This creates PDFs directly from U2 applications, using a number of potential
routes: in order of complexity -
- Capturing existing spool jobs and render as PDF (quick and simple)
- Capture and render exisiting prints against watermark pages

Hi,
I have a multi-value attribute that's made up of free text remarks.
However, we put a couple of system messages there as well. I need to
extract the 6 digit number that follows the COMBO YS in the line
below, but I'm having trouble setting up the conversion code in the
dictionary.
Hi Pamela,
Personally, I would setup a SUBR type dict and then just do a loop:
SUBROUTINE SUB.GET.NBR(RETURN.VALUE, DATA.ITEM)
C = DCOUNT(DATA.ITEM,@VM)
RETURN.VALUE =
FOR I = 1 TO C
IF DATA.ITEM1,I[1,8] = COMBO YS THEN
RETURN.VALUE = FIELD(DATA.ITEM1,I,' ',3)
RETURN
END
NEXT I
FIELDS(ATTNAME,REUSE(YS ),2) or is it FIELDS(REUSE(YS),2,ATTNAME)
I forget which format is used in the DICT I desc. I haven't tested
this. I believe the REUSE needs to be there...

Under very specific scenarios, something like this should work. But if
the string 'COMBO YS' exists more then once, it will only retrieve the
first value. And the syntax must be very consistent.

From the docs : if delimiter evaluates to more than one character, the
first character is used.
1 reuse is not required.
2 fields works on FM delimited data so should be
lower(FIELDS(raise(ATTNAME),YS ,2))
3 this won't work either way as the delimiter will be Y not COMBO YS
