Does anyone know how to create a txt file when an event is fired. I basically want a report ran as a txt file instead. This seems like it would be really easy but I am stumped.
I dont think there is a way to make that happen magically. When your event is fired you would probably want to update the reportoptions IDO for the current user running the event, set the background task to output as a text file instead of PDF, run the background task, then set the reportoptions IDO back to the way it was. Unless you want to run the report as a text file all the the time, then you could just set the report options permanently.
Thanks. I am probably just going to set the report options to a csv file. I am doing this so that Bartender will read the file and print a label automatically when something in CSI happens. So I really just trying to figure out how to fire an event at the moment a transaction happens. An example would to generate the file when a qty move or a receipt is happening.
Do you use Infor ION at all? You could generate a BOD instead via Event System. It would be an XML containing the properties you are looking for.
We don't. We use SyteLine 9.1.02...
