Displaying Reports on a screen, Scheduling - in AXIANT 4GL

[Joe Boyle]

Hi Syed,

below (Winexec) is a great example of why its better to converse with the
list rather than an individual (me) directly :)

As for the limitations on the AT command, you could always ask the members
of the administrator group to AT specific files in batch queues which might
contain pointers to files that should be called,

'call C:\phwork\do_qtp100_2.cmd > C:\phwork\do_qtp100_2a.logcd'

Presumably, the user/client can write to the target files via their screens,
allowing them to AT files indirectly.

Regards, Joe.

syed,
1. remember that any processing in thin client is done on the server side.
using "run command notepad.exe" will open a notepad session on the server
and wait for it to return, giving the "hang" behaviour you describe. there
is a winexec command object you should use instead to open notepad. this
must use the full path to notepad.exe, check to see if it's different on the
client machines (ie 2000 (c:\winnt) vs XP (c:\windows)). notepad should open
the text file locally, so if it's stored on a network drive open a shared
drive to it.
2. command line scheduling in windows is done via the AT command. use "at
/?" to get help for this. be aware that users running this command must be
members of the administrator group of the machine that it is run on. you may
or may not consider this wise.
regards,
stephen.

Hi Gurus,

Simple Introduction: I'm migrating an PH/MPEIX application to AXIANT
4GL (Thin Client)/WINDOWS.

I have 2 functionalities in PH / MPEIX that doesn't seem to have an
equivalent in AXIANT 4GL. (Thin Client).

1. Displaying the reports on the screen. I sent the output to a text
file and tried to open it using notepad.exe through 'run command'. The
system appears to be hanging.

2. In MPE/IX the reports and qtps are streamed as scheduled jobs. How
can we achieve this streaming in a windows environment.

I'd appreciate any attempt to help solve these issues.

Best Regards,
SYED
