Hi everybody,

several times on this board we discussed, which variables can be used to influence Baan behaviour. Examples are BSE_LANG etc.

Also mentioned was the variable PACKAGE_COMB for setting the package combination. Example:

ba6.1 -- -set PACKAGE_COMB=B4Sc4 -set BSE_LANG=2

Funny enough, from the variables we tested all seem to be working as expected, just PACKAGE_COMB has no influence.

Any ideas?

by the way, we are using BaanIVc4 with the latest porting set, so maybe this variable only works in BaanERP?

if you combine aboce command with "-dbgres -keeplog -logfile log.txt" then you can see very nicely, which variables have an effect and which one do not.

Can anybody help me out here?

Regards

Markus

You can check using -

1. Terminal Windows/switch to shell and type in the command at the prompt -

$ env | grep PACKAGE_COMB

or

2. Write a 3-GL in the common VRC with a simple code -

message("Current Package Combination %s", curr.pacc$)

I tried it and the result was as expected:

In our case env gives me "PACKAGE_COMB=B40Sc4" and the curr.$pacc gives me "B40CCSS", which is the package combination from the u-file.

Any ideas? Did anybody try this in BaanIV (not ERP)?


Thanks

Markus

Hi everybody,

After some more tests it seems to be working. The variable is correctly called PACKAGE_COMB and also works for BaanIV.

Must have been some typing or control character in my settings, which messed things up!

Thanks for your help
