Changing Report Name

For many reasons, we can change the report name, the pc-dmis give us the possibility to use a increase number at the end of the name.
Imagine we want create a new method to rename my reports, for example using the name of the part + name of the cmm operator + name of cmm + serial number.
The sample below can do it:


Sub main(sPDFFileName As String)

  Dim oApp As Object
  Dim oPP As Object
  Dim oEW As Object

  Set oApp = CreateObject("PCDLRN.Application")
  Set oPP = oApp.ActivePartProgram
  Set oEW = oPP.EditWindow

  oEW.SetPrintOptionsEx 2, 0, 4, 1, sPDFFileName, 1, False

                      ' 2 = PCD_FILE
                      ' 0 = DMIS_OFF
                      ' 4 = PCD_AUTO
                      ' 1 = ExtNum
                      ' 1 = PCD_PDF
                      ' bHyperReportsInline = False


End Sub


When you call this script you will need pass the parameter "sPDFFileName", this will be the name of the PDF file, you can compose it using input comments in side pc-dmis part program.
