How must i configure a device, if i wan't to send report from baan
to my local computer.

Using bw as client, create a device type windows printer, and print to your local windows printer or check the Prieview box and see the print job coming in bwprint... Here you can save it as a bwprint specific file format.

It is also possible to send files direct to Winword or Notepad. Define device, Device type=Rewrite file, 4GL Program=ttstpconv, Argument=ASCII: Winword or Argument=ASCII: Notepad.
If I remember correctly for older BW clients you have to type complete command path (for instance:
ASCII: c:\windows\notepad.exe).

yes i know that, is there any way to send report from device direct to lotus notes and attach it

I think ttstpconv also has an argument MAIL, but this is not maintained... as far as I know.

where is ttstconv located, and if i write my own script i have an idea, how can i compile it

thank you

ttstpconv: see this board and the support site on different issues on this program.

It is located in $BSE/tools/ttB40_c4/ottstp/ottstpconv

i found it i wrote a new one, because i want to create new device for email, that will use this program instead of ttstpconv, but i don't know how to compile it
i know there is something with bic6.1, but i dont know how to use it.

and there you can use the compile button.

Han

if it is for just 3GL code you can use:
bic6.1 -o oaltttstpconv paltttstpconv

how can i see the source code of ottstpconv
i want to know how it's build
only for educatonial purpose only

That is not allowed (tools sources are not public).

What you can do: bic_info6.1 -a ottstpconv
This will reveal a lot of technical data of which some may be useful for your purpose. Among this the string variables (which will include the select statements) and the function prototypes.
