Creating dynamic ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

[Joe Boyle]

a chap named Chad said that you can use command 'setx' to create a system
env, but I believe this depends on the version of DOS you have ( V6
probably).

 

I'm still not sure why you want to be an administrator to run Axiant -
wouldn't this be risky at an unattended desktop - these are the usual
arguments against.

 

I'm pretty sure that sestsystemval on Windows platforms creates a variable
that is available to child processes only.

Regards, Joe.

Thanks joe.

 

The login dialog appears when I start the application.

Glenn in one of his mails says (if I am remembering correctly) it appears
and there is no way to suppress it. 

 

I tried logging into to the server using the application's network userid. I
tried to create environment variables. But the system doesn't let me create
system environment variables. However it permits me to create user
environment variables. but SETSSTEMVAL function creates a system env.
variable and not a user environment variable.

personally I would use syntax 'set report device disc NOLIMIT name
$UEVD_REPNAME ; but that aside, why do you feel that the network user you
are using to connect to server has to be a member of the ADMINISTRATORS
group ?

 

Incidentally, I am always happy for the users to log in when they run the Ax
app, so I wonder if this is happening at other times, when exactly are your
users being prompted for login details  ?

Dear Gurus,

 

I'm using AXIANT 4GL/PH/WINDOWS (Thin Client).

 

To set the report path dynamically, I am storing the path in the database.

I'm creating a dynamic Windows environment variable to pass this path to the
report using the following command.

 
    SETSYSTEMVAL("UEVD_REPNAME", TRUNCATE(REPORTFILE))

 

I'm using the following command in the quiz file.

    set report device disc LIMIT 10000 name $UEVD_REPNAME

 

My issue is security.

The network user I'm using to connect to server has to be a member of the
ADMINISTRATORS group.

And I could not suppress the network user logon dialog box. 

How can I resolve this issue?

 

Can anyone helpme out of this issue? I'll appreciate.

 

Regards,

SYED.
