am new to baanIVc4.I generated two sessions one is for maintain and one for print. Now I want initaite the print session thru maintaion session.
in maintaion session tool bar,one print button is there.When I click the print button I want to show the print session.How to enable the print button.
and in which secion I have to write the code to achieve this.,

rgds,
newbaan

Enable printing in form standard options to get the printer button work and add a choice.print.data section to start your print session.

If you want to launch a report from a not report sesion see the include tccom0010. It give you a number of funtions no manage a report.

If you want to initiate another session ( it don`t main the kind) in: cont.process:
on.choice:
zoom.to$("my session",z.session,"","",0)

Hello newbaan

You can do it like this:

choice.user.2:
on.choice:

if marked then
export("dhpur021.suno","suno.f")
export("dhpur021.suno","suno.t")
export("dhpur021.year","year.f")
export("dhpur021.qurt","qurt.f")
zoom.to$("dhpur0421m000",Z.Session,"zoom1","",0)
endif

Hi Bernd,

You can do it like this:

choice.user.2:
on.choice:

if marked then
export("dhpur021.suno","suno.f")
export("dhpur021.suno","suno.t")
export("dhpur021.year","year.f")
export("dhpur021.qurt","qurt.f")
zoom.to$("dhpur0421m000",Z.Session,"zoom1","",0)
endif


you can only "export" variables to a parent session. Here it is firstly a child session and secoundly it isn't even started yet when you "export"!. The child session starts first by calling the function "zoom.to$"!
Here the child session (our print session) should "import" the variables from its parent (our maintain session) on startup (in "before.program", "zoom.from.xxx: on.entry:" or "form.1:init.form:" sections).

Does this look right?

choice.user0
on.choice:
zoom.to$("tdlit4506m000",Z.Session,"","",0)

Im trying to take a button (which is user0) and put it into the script to make it open another session. Ive placed it in the choice section ofthe script, but when I run debug I get an error.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Under the section here when i do a debug:
|****************************** choice section ********************************

choice.cont.process:
on.choice:
execute(print.data)

choice.print.data:
on.choice:
if rprt_open() then
read.main.table()
rprt_close()
else
choice.again()
endif

choice.user.0:
on.choice:
zoom.to$("tdlit4506m000",Z.Session,"","",0)
endif


I get a display broswer with the following:

Wrning(5) Statement not reached:
1warning reported.

Hello,

"statement not reached" can be ignored.

Well in the code displayed there is an extra endif that looks like it can be removed. It might just be what you pasted.

YES! I removed the endif in my code and Ive almost got it! getting just one error in debug now, "suppressed due to -w option(s)"

|****************************** CHOICE SECTION ***************************

choice.user.0:
on.choice:
zoom.to$("tdlit4506m000", Z.session, prog.name$, "", 0)

OK I think Im there, I removed the -w options in the compile files section, it shows a different warning now, return value of funtion "zoom.to.menu' ignored.

Also when I run the session, the button when clicked has this that pops up and im not understanding this:

Note: deliveries already invoiced, changing not allowed

Yep - zoom.to returns a value, but you don't have to check it. Now the message in the program you zoom to is just a warning message stating the delivery (what you zoomed to) already has invoices so you can not change it. A standard type message I see on receipts and other type things where you cannot change them if they are completed(or closed).

Now one thing I usually do before zooming(and I can not answer for you since I do not know the session you are zooming to) is set the table fields so that the zoom session automatically finds the correct meeting. So for example if I was going to zoom to tiitm0101s000 I would set tiitm001.item right before I called the zoom. Then the subsession would pull up the correct item. Just thought I would mention this.

Thanks Mark,

Im working with tdlit4505m000. Basically they use to have Q-Key that enabled a button on the screen to open a subsession. What I did was I copied the subsession and created a new session called 4506m000. Now, Ive added under the maintain forms (theres 3 forms btw) under the special options, a new form -specific option called users.0, Maintain Display Lines (to the 4506 session). From there, I added in my button and tied it to #48, user.0. Intresting enough however, under the application tab when I launch the 4505m session, it gives me a link that says Display Sales order lines, to 4506m, which is what I need. The button with the given code seems to give me that error without anyhting else opening at all. Any thoughts there? I was hoping to simply find the coding under the application tab and copy it so when clicked it will open, but Im not use to Baan, its new and Im still trying to understand a lot of it.
