Knowing when QUIZ has completed

Fri Aug 11 05:45:56 CDT 2006

Aha - thanks Ole - the bit I didn't know was : -
"The screen will wait for the quiz process to complete, and then proceed
to your ftp-code"

 It remains counterintuitive - I wouldn't wait, why would the screen? 
 Anyway I shall cut out all the useless code and be grateful. Thanks a
lot.

	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

	 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
