in that case you can usually code as below to dynamically set the printer
(but I suspect that escape chars won't survive) where qz1 is a compiled
report,

Quiz 

exe qz1.qzc NOGO

set rep dev printer \\node\name <file:///\\node\name> 

GO

This requires that you write the script before it is called, but you can do
this using quiz.

I ran some fast tests and couldn't get PH_PRINTER or DESTINATION to do
anything. However, the string option can be used to direct output to a
specific printer by using the network printer name which is typically in the
form \\node\name <file:///\\node\name> . We'll have to look into the other
two.

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.
