I have created a session which will first run tdsls4402m000 – Print Picking Lists and then it will run a new custom report. I need the picking list number generated from the session tdsls4402m000 returned so that I can use it in my customized report.

What I have so far …

In my custom session, I call the standard Baan session tdsls4402m000 and run a report.

stpapi.set.report("tdsls4402m000","rtdsls44020100c",spool.device,error.msg)
stpapi.continue.process("tdsls4402m000",error.msg)

import("parent",proc_num)
get.var(proc_num,"free$",ret.pino)

message("returned pino %s",ret.pino)

if not isspace(error.msg) then
message("Error when setting report: %s", error.msg)
endif

stpapi.end.session("tdsls4402m000")


Within the report script for rtdsls44020100c I added the following:

after.program:
ret.pino = tdsls045.pino
export("free$",ret.pino)


ret.pino is extern in both the custom session and the report script.

ret.pino seems to be zero all of the time, even though a picking list is generated.

Thanks

I used the stpapi.get.field in my customized session and that worked for me.

Can you use the stpapi.get before stpapi.end.session as mitchell recommended?

The problem I see is:

stpapi.set.report("tdsls4402m000","rtdsls44020100c",spool.device,error.msg)
stpapi.continue.process("tdsls4402m000",error.msg)

Once you hit the continue - it goes off and runs the report and closes the report. So the ret.pino will always be 0.

Export in report script will put value in tdsls4402m000 and import in custom script will NOT get value from tdsls4402m000 as it is child and not parent .

Instead do following report script . Import parent . This will give the parent of parent ie ur customscript pid and then use that pid to retrieve / manipulate value in custom script from code in report script .

This is working correctly using the stpapi.get.field.

I coded it as follows:

stpapi.set.report("tdsls4402m000","rtdsls44020100c",spool.device,error.msg)
stpapi.continue.process("tdsls4402m000",error.msg)

if not isspace(error.msg) then
message("Error when setting report: %s", error.msg)
else
stpapi.get.field("tdsls4402m000","tdsls045.pino",ret.value)
ret.pino = val(ret.value)
endif

stpapi.end.session("tdsls4402m000")

Thanks.
