Knowing when QUIZ has completed

Fri Aug 11 08:19:55 CDT 2006

The difference is in how you submit the QUIZ process. If you run QUIZ
directly from QUICK, it's an inline subprocess. Something like running
an external subroutine. On the other hand, if you use RUN COMMAND to
submit a batch job, then it is independent and as soon as the job is
submitted, control returns to the QUICK screen. And if you run it as a
batch submission, you could put your FTP code in the batch job.

	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
