How to write a file to users local directory.
the same as asci device wich send's report file to your's local dir.

Hi,

You can use seq.open() , seq.write() & seq.close() functions of standard BaaN to create the file in user's home on server.

For more info on this functions refer BaaN Help.

I know this but how do i know which user am'i

Hi ,

U can use the predefined variable logname$ to get the Current Login code.
As u mentioned earlier & if i m not wrong u want to create file for the user in his home directory...in that case...

If u do not provide the absolute path in the seq.open() function & provide only the filename then the file is automatically created in the home of user running the session.

So in this case u dont need to find the user also.

Hi Maco

Try this one !!!!


declaration:
string path.id(100)

choice.cont.process:
on.choice:
path.id = sprintf$("\\it_ganesh\sharedoc\xyz.txt")
seq.id = seq.open(path.id,"w")
if seq.id < 1 then
message("Error in creating file")
exit()
else
create.header()
ret1 = seq.puts(hold.header,seq.id)
read.main.table()
seq.close(seq.id)
endif


etc. etc.

No need to find out user login code. Create shared folder named as 'sharedoc' on any one PC (ex.it_ganesh). It will create xyz.txt file in the sharedoc folder of it_ganesh PC.

Hope this solves your problem.

Good Luck

I belive that this can help you. If you need to use this function you have to write in declaration section:

#pragma used dll "ottdllbw"

Good luck
