HP to Windows QUIZ printing

[shulbert@littlejohnfrazer.com]

don,
how about printing to disc and then using the windows print command?

<quiz>

set report device disk name <filename>

</quiz>

<"dos">

print /d:"\\server\printer" <filename>

</"dos">

"print /?" at the command line will give you the full syntax.

good luck,
stephen.

Subject:	HP to Windows QUIZ printing

Hi,

I am in the middle of migrating a fairly large app from the HP3000 to Windows.  Fooling around with all the various ways to handle printed output from QUIZ (8.41.D). I need to settle on a method for re-directing printed output from batch jobs.

 I am wondering if anyone has any doco, or better yet a working example, of the PH_PRINTER env variable on Windows.  Can't figure out what to set it to, or even if it works.  Would be a nice option in some cases if I could make it behave.

I have a similar problem with the DESTINATION option of SET REPORT.  Anyone made this work on Windows?  Output just keeps going to the default printer regardless of what I try.

Last but not least anyone tried SET REPORT DEVICE PRINTER <string> - this one is in the migration guide.  Not sure what <string> should be.  I did check my QUIZ reference manual, but it was not much help.  It mentions all these approaches, but that's about it.  Where can I find any doco on this?  I am probably not looking in the right place.

I sure wish Windows had file equations - so far this is the thing I miss the most.  Any help would be appreciated.
