Hello friends,
I am generating a text file by using seq.write.lcoal() through my customized script.Now I want to generate this file in Read Only mode so that if this file once genrated to my local pc can not be modified by other user.

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

just call the shell command to chmod it from within the Baan program.
shell("chmod 444 FILENAME",1) (to make it readonly for everbody)

Norbert,

Sharma is trying to change the local desktop's file's permissions and not server end.

You can do it with attrib command. Refer to the link - app_start() (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=9595&highlight=attrib)

Dear Sharma,

Changing the attrib will not help you as user can save the file with different name. You have to convert the baan report to PDF format, then only your purpose will be solved.

If I have Acrobat PDF editor, this would not solve the purpose. ;)

NP,

You are right but user can be restricted to access Acrobat Editor.

Manoj, I was kidding :) there are lots of freeware to convert files etc. The secure way might be to use a digital signature or encrypted files. It might be an overkill for a simple document, alternatively, one can also have a password protected word document etc. Many solutions for simple objective.

I have a requirement to do
digital Signature on Invoice printed from Baan.

Kindly help.. shall be much appreciated
thank you
