HP to Windows QUIZ printing

[Joe Boyle]

and if you have any escape sequences ( to control font types, underlining
etc ) embedded in your reports you will have to use Stephen's suggestion
anyway; it's the only method that dos'nt strip escape sequences out of
reports on MS platforms. 

I wonder if you can put a printer reference in a variable and then use
something like SET REPORT DEVICE PRINTER $prtdev; where prtdev is set in
your script file for the quiz run.

Regards, Joe.

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.

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.
