WinExec command question

my notes suggest the 'remote report viewer' syntax might be as follows 'quiz
auto="c:\axiant34\fst1d\Report15.qzc" dict="c:\axiant34\fst1d\phd.pdc"',
notice the ' (single quotes) at either end of the string which are required;
via an OS command.
I don't recall ever seeing a problem from adding 'set report terminal.'
syntax to direct the report to the terminal, but it might be best not to add
any.
If you run the report into a subfile, you could have two quizes, one to read
the subfile and display to the report viewer, and a second to read the
subfile in order to create a disk version when the user requires a print
out; the second version might have different page formatting, or
non-printing characters which can be printed only by using the DOS print
command - windows print drivers strip out non-printing characters..
Regards, Joe.

Dear Joe, Bob,
Because so far I couldn't find anything about Quiz Report Viewer, I'm trying
to stream the quiz output to a text file and open the text file via cmdExec
command.
I really don't understand how to find this Report Viewer. I cannot see
anything about Report Viewer neither in Cognos knowebase nor in Axiant Help.
Where can I find some documentation about it?
Regards,
SYED.

given that the quiz report viewer knows where to send the output from a quiz
call, (which is executing on the server) presumably it would be possible for
the development chappies in Canada to program the server to send a signal
back to the client to activate the Winexec command.
Regards, Joe.

I don't believe you can control the client from the server in that way.

the problem with that approach is that with thin clients, the run
command executes on the server, whereas the Winexec executes on the
client.
How can you procedurally process a Winexec command to run on the client
?

WinExec is an Axiant client operation, typically tied to a button or
menu entry. If you want to run a Windows app or command from a
procedure, use RUN COMMAND.
