Print to File, SP-CREATE

[alan...@gmail.com]

I am looking to print existing printed reports to a file in a jbase directory for subsequent use.  What is the proper syntax for the SP-CREATE...SP-DEVICE commands?

Something like:

SP-CREATE A1 FILE /tmp/outputfile

then

SP-ASSIGN A1

LIST filename  ... LPTR

Jbase Version 5.6.2  on Aix 6.1

Thanks,

Al

Mike,

   Here is the error I receive upon the SP-CREATE:

jsh DEV ~ -->SP-CREATE A1 FILE /data/DEV/PENDING.REPORTS

INVALID DEVICE TYPE
jsh DEV ~ -->

Alan,

That is because the FILE device type wasn’t implemented until jBASE 5.7.0.

Ok, thanks.

That answers my question.

Here are 2 ways to send a print job to a file:

1) SP-CREATE A1 prog cat > /tmp/myfile.txt

but this will overwrite myfile.txt each time a job is despooled from the A1 queue.

2) Send the job to a hold file then, assuming the hold file number is 1:

SP-EDIT 1 (I

This will prompt for a destination file and ID.

*** 

Other than that, as Mike mentioned, you'd have to upgrade to get the FILE device type, which will allow you to create a unique filename for each print job.
