Changing RVC ISL SIM - Question for Moregelen (re-opening a thread from 2013) ;-)

[JonnyB82]

Hi Moregelen,

Hope you are well! If you see this thread, could you please maybe help me... you very kindly wrote me an ISL script way back in 2013 to try (see linked thread below), basically the script was to change RVC on a workstation without prompting the user(s) on further logins, it just changes the WS's RVC within the DB... however I have now the need to do this again, but the SIM only seems to work on the server, but when I run it on another PC running RES3700, I get the following error: "ISL error on line 175 Format Too Long"....

Any ideas why this would work on the server but not on other workstations?

Many Thanks

Actually, I have just worked out that I was using the ISL as part of a Macro, and it was a line in there that I had caused the error.. my bad.

I was playing with Macros as the workstation still stays on the previous RVC's cashier period... so was looking at ways that I can add the sim inquiry to a macro, which would allow me to firstly print the current RVC's cashier report, before changing the RVC via the script, and then prompt the user to select a cashier period...

I think I have worked out a rough/roundabout solution...

I only need to swap between two RVC's at this time, so:

[ul]
[li]Have created two Macros that reside on the Bar managers screen, one to change to RVC1 and another for RVC2...[/li]
[li]RVC1 Macro, step 1 prints current cashier uws report, then using function number changes cashier shift, before running the sim inqury[/li]
[li]Manager then reboots the workstation to apply the new settings... and then selects RVC2 macro at the end of the shift to change back[/li]
[/ul]

By doing the above, at least they will have a printed cashier report to use for the cash-up...

Cheers, and thanks again for the ISL script Moregelen, it's made this a pretty simple process now, with no confusing prompts for the staff users...

Ok! Glad you worked it out for yourself
