Hi,

We are in the process of integrating wireless scanners in our company's ERP.
Our ERP is Baan IV based on SQL Server 7 and running on Windows NT. I'm new to Baan but I have experience in programming and SQL.
We use our scanners for other purposes (PTC-960SL) and they are managed trough a Wavelink server.

We need it to validate new source-material entering the factory against Baan tables and if it exists acknowledge it. Also in a second phase we want the finished product to be entered into Baan so we can accelerate the expedition process.

My question is. Can I use C source code to interface with Baan? I have searched trough the forum and haven't found anything relevant except using function servers. I have experience interfacing directly with SQL Server (recently with .NET) but I want to use Baan validation.
I have analized the api directory in the baan directory and I seem to understand most of it but I really need documentation for it.

In resume I want to use C or C++ because of the WaveLink interface but I also want to validate the data trough Baan.

So my question is: Is there any documentation related and/or explaining the DB C source code examples in the Baan directory,
if so can anyone point me to it.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Pedro,

You might contact these guys to get more info-

I had posted some BaaN-C interface document somewhere on the Board here. You might need to search for it.

I am just aware of the topic but never used it.

You might also find some example code in

Good Luck!
