Hi,

Can anyone please tell me how to call ASP page from impromptu??
 
Could you give us more details...

Maybe you want to pass an URL link?
 
We have some maintenance screens. From Impromtu menu we want to open these screens. How to call ASP web page through impromptu?
 
vaisag,

You have 2 options:

- Go to menu tools / Customize. There you can customize the menu and create a button to call a Macro. I don´t know if you can call a ASP page by Macro.

- Or use PowerPrompts.
A PowerPrompts application is a series of HTML pages that lets report consumers customize a
report. This tutorial creates a PowerPrompts application to be used with the samples provided
with Impromptu. You can see in Cognos Documentation.

Hi,

I'm trying to build a macro library for impromptu but I can't call the module in the external file.

could somebody give me a hint about what I'm doing wrong.
this is the code i'm using for the main macro

declare sub ctrl_pad
BasicLib "D:\Cornelis\Documenten\Impromptu\macros\Opslaanals.mcx" alias "ctrl_pad" (pad as string)

sub main
dim pad as string
pad="c:\test"
call ctrl_pad(pad)

end sub

and this is the corresponding part of the library

option explicit
sub ctrl_pad(pad)
dim tstdir
tstdir= dir (pad,16)
if tstdir="" then
mkdir(pad)
end if
end sub

I've also tried (of course without the Rem)
rem '$Include:'D:\Cornelis\Documenten\Impromptu\Test\test.SBH'
this worked fine for a msgbox but refused to create the folder

Thanks a lot
Cornelis
