- Good Morning!
-
- I have discovered a problem with Informix SQL v 2.10 Ace Report Writer.
-
- I have SQL installed in a stand alone PC, and also on an Intel-310
- multi-user box.
-
- The problem is with Ace on the PC, in the OUTPUT block of the source code
- the REPORT TO instruction works well in sending the formated text/data to
- a "file" or to the PRINTER. However, the reference manual states that a
- key word "PROGRAM" will send the output to a SYSTEM COMMAND. This should
- work like the Unix " REPORT TO PIPE 'cat > /usr2/login/subdirectory/filename".
-
- THE PROGRAM KEY WORD DOSE NOT WORK AT ALL, NOT IN ANY CONFIGURATION I CAN
- COME UP WITH.
-
- Has anyone on the Net tried to use this PROGRAM keyword to successfully sen
- the output of a report to a MS-DOS system command, .exe, .com, .bat?
-
- I would appreciate any valuable suggestions along these lines.
-
- Thanks for even reading this.
