Knowing when QUIZ has completed

[Ole Hansen]

Hi Dave,
 
I am not quite sure that I understand the problem. A simple construct
like :
procedure designer getrecords nodata
  begin
    inform = "Fetching records - please wait...." now
    run command 'quiz auto=quizprog > wastebin' on error terminate
    inform = "Transferring file - please wait...." now
; Your FTP-code here
  end
 
should do the trick. The screen will wait for the quiz process to
complete, and then proceed to your ftp-code.
 
If the quiz report prompts for parameters, that can be solved too:
 
procedure designer getrecords nodata
  begin
    run command "purge jobfile,temp" nowarn
    run command "build jobfile;rec=-72,,f,ascii;disc=4;temp"
    let jobline = compname
    put jobfile reset
    let jobline = invoicedate
    put jobfile reset
    let jobline = customercode
    put jobfile reset
    close jobfile
    run command 'quiz auto=quizprog.prog < jobfile > wastebin'   on
error terminate

    inform = "Transferring file - please wait...." now
; Your FTP-code here
  end

HTH


Mange hilsner / With kind regards

Subject: Knowing when QUIZ has completed


 Hi,
    I'm running PH 6.09 on HP3000. 
    I have to write a screen that executes a Quiz routine retrieving
about 20000 records and writing them to a file
    and when it's finished, FTP the output to a server.
    The question - how do I tell, in the screen, that the Quiz routine
has finished?
    It would be easy to just stream a job to do this, but it's not
allowed - users don't have
    the privilege and it would confuse the operator. 
    The best I can think of, off the top of my head, is to have a loop
that checks where EOF on the file is,
    twice, and when the two values are equal the Quiz has finished, but
surely there's another, easier, way?
 
regards 
 
Dave in London
