COMMAND LINE PARAMETER

[CatPlus]

Using Oracle Form 6i, I create a text file which is written to "c:\label.txt"

I then send a following command "TYPE C:\LABEL.TXT > PRN"

The command get truncated somewhere and becomes invalid, possibly removing either ':' '\' or '>' from the equation!

Anyone got a clue? or done something like this before? I have the printer commands that are saved to label.txt and when sent to the printer, it prints a label

Thank you

How are you sending the command? With HOST?

Hello Lewis,

Yes the command is sent from host!

And hello Lewis

Wanted to write out the entire command I send using host command from the form:

TYPE C:\LABEL-TXT\PALLET.TXT > LPT2

Printer is mapped to LPT2
