Hi,

I would like to use "start.application.local" in Baan IV. I have porting set 6.1c.06.04 running under Sun Solaris
The function seems to be in "ttdllbw". How can I update my Baan IV so I can use start.application.local?

Regards

Not sure I understand the question. I am on 4c4 and I see start.application.local in ttdllbw. To use it all I would need to do is include the ottdllbw library in the source code for the session. I have never used it in production, but I know I tested it once using this code:

#pragma used dll ottdllbw
long e
start.application.local("notepad.exe c:\temp\tt.txt",true,e)

Yes, Mark, you did understand my question correctly (and I got start.application.local working without any problems in baan V and LN).

I am also on 4c4. It seems that the last ServicePack that was installed is version 6 (not really sure about that).
But I took a look into "odllw" in the directory "/baan/bse/tools/ttB40_c4/ottdll" with a hex editor: "start.application.local" does'nt exist (i can find for example "create.local.directory"). The date of the file is 3. September 2002 (all files in this directory have that date).
Maybe I can just use a newer "odllbw"? Where can I get that file from to test it?

In march we did SP28 - my odllbw file shows march 15. My recommendation is that you request from Infor the file. But they might require an update.

@mark_h
Thanks for your help!
I will do that and report back here

We did use a solution suggested by Infor and after that the dll contained the function ... unfortunately we weren't able to edit or compile anymore in Baan 4 ... so we did restore the old file

It seems that one need to install a complete Service Pack to get this function included.
