Does anyone have a good way to generate 'text' output similar to what we used to get with PDisk .. OIPI's TXTFILE is simply a CSV with space instead of , … not very useful but there you go.
I know that i can create a FILE printer and print to it but that requires user intervention .. i need to print off hundreds of these and sitting around to enter the file location really doesn't float my boat
So GOOD ideas welcome .. or if i am missing something obvious please let me know ..
thanks
You could use "OSWRITE"
OSWRITE STRING TO DOS_PATH
yeah .. that's retro ..
I am trying to find a method without a lot of coding .. you know .. something that a RAD tool would have ..
but thanks ..

DirectPrint has a PDisk option
Dave,
The ATLAS Framework, which you have a copy of, contains a report process with automatic file capture. This may not be a candidate for solving your problem, however, as ultimately it uses Run_Report and you want this to work with OIPI. I am currently ingorant of OIPI, so maybe someone at Revelation Software could unlock the code safe and reveal how Run_Report uses OIPI and writes to capture files. Or, maybe the knowledge of how to do this is out there but we just haven't noticed.
