Hi,
I have a weird problem with the spool.device variable and a session I am trying to automate through AFS.

I am trying to automate the close PCS projects session (tipcs2250m000). When you run this session, it kicks off another session (tipcs3250s000) for calculating cost price. Both sessions have a report and I am setting the report for the session tipcs2250m000 with set.report call and also assigned a device to the spool.device variable. When I run the session tipcs2250m000 manually, it calls the session tipcs3250s000 and it uses the device that is in the spool.device variable to print its report. But when I call the session tipcs2250m000 through AFS, the spool.device that I have setup is used in tipcs2250m000 but it gets re-set when it gets to session tipcs3250s000 and thus this session get terminated.

I have tried to use the handle.subprocess to add the session tipcs3250s000 and set the report of that session to a device, but it does not work.

Any ideas on how I can get this resolved?

Appreciate your help,
NS

PS: I have checked some of posts related to spool.device but was unable to find what I was looking for.

Just wondering if you saw this post and the solution (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=23365) recommended. Not sure if your problem is the same. Just thought I would mention it.

Mark,
Thanks for the response. I have the source for tipcs3250m000 and ended up modifying it to keep the spool.device if it’s called from AFS. It’s working now.

Thanks,

Hi r_nagu,

I have the same problem and would like to run Closing Projects through AFS but can't make it to work.
