I recently upgraded AREV 3.1 to AREV 3.12. I am currently

using the PDISK command to create an output file in 3.12

and this seems to work well. My problem now is that I

cannot print the output file from a program using the

command PCPERFORM "EXIT COPY FILENAME.OUT PRN", although

the command PC EXIT COPY FILENAME.OUT PRN works from the

command line. I am using DOS 6.2 on a Novell network.

What is the error you get, if any at all? Try doing this..

 pcperform "copy filename.out newfile.out"  if that works then try

 pcperform "copy filename.out ] PRN"  OR

 pcperform "print filename.out ] LPT1"

You should at least throw away the wordt EXIT so the statement should be :

PCPERFORM 'COPY FILE.OUT PRN'

Good luck,

I know when I want to put a file to dos, and then to the printer I do the following steps: (under 3.12)

PERFORM "PDISK FILENAME.XXX"

• PRINT LOGIC HERE*

PERFORM "PDISK PRN"

PERFORM "SUSPEND EXIT TYPE FILENAME.XXX LPT1"
