RE: [Talk] Help with coding

Boston WorkStation’s equivalent code is a little different and, I think, a little simpler:   Do       If At("Enter employee maximum amount") Then Do_something_1       If At("Enter employee flat amount”) Then Do_something_2       Wait .2     ‘let’s the application “breath”       C= C + 1: if C > 50 Then Do_something_for_a_timeout   ‘times out in 5 seconds Loop Until At(“OK”)   Where “OK” is the prompt you get when application continues on.  Note also that the different At commands can look for things in different parts of the screen, not just at the prompt as in the example below.   Rich McNeil Boston Software Systems 866 653 5105 www.bostonworkstation.com   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Dwight Clevenger Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 8:26 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Talk] Help with coding   I'm still hanging on to some Microscript apps that I haven't converted yet. I need to know how to handle the WaitFor() function from Microscript Workstation ver 5.0 here is a small code sample:       intResult5 = DS1.WaitFor(-1, -1, "Enter employee maximum amount", _             "Enter employee flat amount", 1000)    Select Case intResult5         Case 1                       Do something        Case 2                      Do something        Case Else                      Do something    End Select    '}-> Select Case intResult5 This piece of code waits for multiple strings to appear at the transaction line (Star McKesson). In this case 2 different strings. If the first string is found, a value of 1 is stored in intResult5. If the second string is found, a value of 2 is stored in intResult5. Screen flow is controlled by passing the value of intResult5 to a Select Case statment.   What would be the equivalent function, coding in BWS.   Thanks,   Dwight Clevenger Senior System Analyst Baptist Health System San Antonio, TX. 210-297-1663 [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email and any files transmitted with it may contain information that is PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL.
