Hi,

There seems to be some good functionality available in exchange around conditions and 'program name', which one can specify in the batches to write their own 3gl / Unix scripts.
Does anyone have examples / documentation available which will help me understand these a bit better and explore them more? I have already asked Baan and they could not provide any more information!! :confused:

Thanks a lot in advance

You can basically put any 3GL code in an exchange condition. Treat a condition merley as a function which must return a data type - integer, string etc.

In the condition you can use any 3GL function call you desire - even open up seqential files, do extra processing etc.

If you have a programmers manual that should suffice what you CAN put in a condition.

What you SHOULD be in an exchange condition should probably be limited to data checking etc. to determine whether a field, record, table or batch should be processed in a specific manner, as opposed to duplicating functionality you can achieve with exchange (or writing an update session).
