Hi all,

I'm using ask.enum in the before.report to set variables printed on the report. Now I want on a simular wat to pop up a box in which the user can enter some information that needs to be printed on the report.

Any ideas?

:confused:

One suggestion is to make a little zoom session for them to go enter their information into. Then you can call the zoom session and use import/export (or put.var etc.) to pull in the values for your report...? Never tried such a thing in the before report session, generatlly interaction in the report is not advised (it could hang if run as a batch / job, or reprinted...), but since you are already doing the ask.enum....

A simple solution could be to simply have an extra field on the form where the user can enter this data ?

Not sure what your requirement is but maybe this could help you.

Hi,

you can use input.string.

Look for threads with the keyword 'ottdllinputstr'.

Hi all,

Thanks for the response, main issue is that we don't want to modify the Baan standard program script ( session ). Therefore I cannot declare additional fields on the form of the session ( exept free$ ). The situation is that in the before.report section some questions are programmed using the ask.enum statement, this works fine. I know there's a trick to create a box on the the same way like using the ask.enum as I have done this before. Unfortunately my memory doesn't support me in this :confused:

So I'm looking for the way to create a pop-up on the screen in which the user can type some info.

Any help will be welcome!

Hi,

just look in your own thread from 22-12-2004.

There you already got the answer. You can use "input.string" in report script.

Hi all,

Thanks to Nikos remark I was set on the rigth track. For all, I used code below:

declaration:

#pragma used dll ottdllinputstr


before.program:

curr.emp = ask.enum("tdsls4403.02", tdfkr.easa.visser, ret)

on case curr.emp

case tdfkr.easa.visser:
name.user = "J. de Visser"
break

case tdfkr.easa.dongen:
name.user = "J. van Dongen"
break

case tdfkr.easa.other:

ret = input.string("Choice signing","Enter your name:",20,20, answer)
name.user = answer
break
endcase

Thanks all for your support!

JP :)
