I want to
1. How to find out Arguments needed for a Function?
2. What are the command line arguments needed in ttstpconv?

I don't have the source code.

Thanks in Advance

Jay

Check this link (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?s=&threadid=513) out. It contains an example for launching ttstpconv and an example of creating your own conversion program.

For other functions you can use bic_info. Let me find a post about that and I will edit this reply to include that link. Here is one for bic_info (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1650&highlight=bicinfo). You can try a search on bic_info for the tools forum to find more.

Good Luck!

I saw this earlier and I have one program like that, but it doesn't work with html.
wait.and.activate("ttstpconv", argv$(1), tmp.file, argv$(3),argv$(4))

Like if I use ttstpconv instead and argument as
html -g c:/windows/temp/logo.gif
and path as rept.html

It works and creates only one header logo statement in html file. But if I try to use my own function like yours it gives multiple header tag in the html file.
You know that html: doesn't work in -g -c -f .

Excel works fine.

In argument 4 [argv$(4)] it is always passing "wt", what does it mean. Is there anything else.

I don't know how to use bic_info command.
Many thanks in advance...

Jay

Sorry I will not be much help with HTML, but could you post a little of the code. Maybe the parameters are not exactly the same as the device. Maybe an attachment with both a screen print of the device and the code. This may help me or someone else catch something. I would expect both using a device with ttstpconv and launching the program to work exactly the same.

I believe argv$(4) is a special parameter - I have never used it.

I am attaching now the above code as header and there is another footer. Whole ascii report is going as body of html code.

Baan standard is not working if I use wait.and.activate...ttstpconv

Some problem with parameter passing .
I checked bic_info6.1 just now, doesn't help much.

Thanks a lot Mark,

Jay

How to get them ...I don have it...I am using now BaanIV
ttstpobjinfo and ttstpbaandoc
Thanks
Jay

We do not have those objects either. Our application admin. also said we had the latest objects. So I am not too sure about those. I also tried ttstpsessinfo on ttstpconv and it also is not too helpful. Sigh.

I am going to cut and paste your code into one of my test scripts and see what happens. I will get back to you later.

The html device I created using ttstpconv created a nice neat html file. Each page had the logo and the bottom of each page was the top, prev and next links. Looked pretty good.

BUT then when I try the wait.and.activate("ttstpconv"...), I only get the logo on the first page and none of the pages have the top, prev or next links. I tried several times to get the output to match, but no luck.

I search a couple of forums and the Baan support site, but could not find a solution. Hopefully someone else lurking here knows what the answer is. I would recommend asking Baan what the activation parameters are.

Sorry I was not any help.
