Hello,

we are using the API-Functioanlity quiet often!
Now we will use the API for the session timps4701m000 (rough capacty utilisation).
Unfortunately we can't find the APT-function for the "next.frm". With the next.frm the session normally calculate the capacity!
Does anybody now, how to use the API in ASCII-Session timps4701m000?

Thank u 4 your help!!!

Hi,

Try creating an AFS-DLL for your session with ttstpcreatdll to see what wrapper functions are generated. These should give you a clue as to how to proceed.

HTH,
Rob

These are the "action"-functions in the AFS! We tried a few, but without the right result. Which one is the right one?

OK,

I don't know this session, but reading the "Guidelines for Baan 4GL application sessions" in the "Developer's Guide for Application Server", I read thatIf the session has more than one form, keep the form commands (standard and specific) the same (across all forms- Rob). AFS does not have a notion of current form.So, AFS does not have any knowledge of which form a field is on.

HTH,
Robert

Thank u,

in this case it seems that it is not possible to start the session via API!

Might i suggest that you move your code for calculating capacity from the form section of your script to a separate function, which you can then also call from a menu item or button.

This menu item or button can then be called via AFS.

HTH,
Servus, Robert
