Hey All, Im new to CASL scripting language and I was wondering if someone could give me an example of a macro that would download a file, rename it and then download it to my hard drive?

Download from where?

We use File Xpress and every day I have to download files from a server to my hard drive and I was wondering if I could automate this process with a CASL macro. I download the files from the INFOConnect session by clicking the file and download and then I rename it and download it to my hard drive, hopefully there is a way to automate this.

Sorry I am not familiar with File Xpress. Can you record the steps via Tools> Learn Casl Macro *perform steps manually* Tools> Stop Casl Learn and post the code?

I was also wondering about that too, because I got the generic hello macro that came with Attachmate to work on startup but the problem is that the session that I want to put the macro on does not have "Learn CASL Macro" option on it, it only has the "CASL Macro" option, is there a way to change the settings to Add the Learn CASL Macro option?

AFAIK, it is controlled by your security file .asf You would need a copy of a security file with permisions to allow it.

CASL does have some functionality to run different applications, but it's not great. You would type
Code: 
Run "C:/AnyFile.exe"
As far as I know, you cannot run a file that has any spaces in the file path, so you might need to move your exe around, if possible. I also don't think you can pass arguments to another application; you can run the executable. I would investigate a scheduled task instead; if you use windows, you should be able to create a scheduled task that runs automatically.
