Print command not working

Thiyagu_Raj
Hi all......


today I tried the print command for the first time, everything seems like correct but still its not woring.

It is not getting saved in the location which i defined, instead of that its storing some other location.
i want to save my reports in "C:\Reports\customer_name\Part_number\Lot_numb er" in the format of Part_number__ddmmyyyy__variant.pdf
if the operator enters new lot number means pc-dmis should create a new folder by itself.

here my code is , if there is any mistake pls correct me.
thanks in advance. 



"header section"

C1         =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            ENTER PART NUMBER
C2         =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            ENTER JOB ROUTER NUMBER
C3         =COMMENT/INPUT,YES,FULL SCREEN=NO,
            ENTER CUSTOMER NAME
            ASSIGN/PART_NUM=C1.INPUT
            ASSIGN/LOT_NUM=C2.INPUT
        ASSIGN/CUST_NAME=C3.INPUT    
            ASSIGN/DATE=GETPROGRAMINFO("DATE")
            ASSIGN/VARIANT=GETPROGRAMINFO("STATSCOUNT")




"at the end of the prograrm"

             ASSIGN/FILE_NAME=PART_NUM+"__"+DATE+"__"+VARIANT+".PDF"
            ASSIGN/REPORT_PATH="C:\REPORT\CUST_NAME\PART_NUM\LOT_NUM\\"
            ASSIGN/REPORT=REPORT_PATH+FILE_NAME
            PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
              TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=REPORT,$
              TO_PRINTER=OFF,$

  • Print commands are funny, on my end, if the print under the file dropdown is not turned on and set to a bogus dummy output, the print command in the edit window wont function. May not apply to you cuz it actually outputting it not the issue but location.

    When in doubt of variable values hover over them and you can see variable output or use the ol' poor mans debugger trick, Operator comments.
  • i changed my code as dph51 said now the command is OK, but sad thing is still the report was storing in program location
  • What is the mistake i'm doing ? still, my Reports are getting stored in Program Location 


    ASSIGN/FILE_NAME=PART_NUM+"__"+DATE+"__"+TIME+"__"+VARIANT+".PDF"
                ASSIGN/REPORT_PATH="C:\\REPORT\\CUST_NAME\\"+PART_NUM+"\\"+LOT_NUM+"\\"
                ASSIGN/REPORT=REPORT_PATH+FILE_NAME

  • Maybe PC-DMIS gets confused with your variable name "REPORT", as that's a built-in name?
  • , Still it continues. after Changing the variable name as well as folder name. 
    ASSIGN/FILENAME=PART_NUM+"__"+DATE+"__"+TIME+"__"+VARIANT+".PDF"
            ASSIGN/FILESTORE="C:\\CUST_NAME\\FQR\\"+PART_NUM+"\\"+LOT_NUM+"\\"
            ASSIGN/VAL_FILE=FILESTORE+FILENAME
            PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
              TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=VAL_FILE,$
              TO_PRINTER=OFF,$
              TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=OVERWRITE,FILENAME="",$
              REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMENSIONS=NO,$
              PREVIOUS_RUNS=DELETE_INSTANCES


  • Dumb question - does the folder "C:\\CUST_NAME\\FQR"+PART_NUM+""+LOT_NUM+"" exist? The print command can only create files, not folders.

    Edit: The forum eats backslashes, but I wrote it exactly as your post displayed it.
    Edit 2: Every time I edit some more backslashes are eaten!
  • Have some of mine:

    \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

    Sunglasses
  • Maybe this is the problem that needs to be changed. Your post showed

    ASSIGN/REOPRT_PATH="C:\\REPORT\\CUST_NAME...........etc

    What is the mistake i'm doing ? still, my Reports are getting stored in Program Location 


    ASSIGN/FILE_NAME=PART_NUM+"__"+DATE+"__"+TIME+"__"+VARIANT+".PDF"
ASSIGN/REPORT_PATH="C:\\REPORT\\[COLOR=#FF0000][B]+ CUST_NAME +[/B][/COLOR]"\\" +PART_NUM+"\\"+LOT_NUM+"\\"
ASSIGN/REPORT=REPORT_PATH+FILE_NAME
PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
TO_FILE=ON,OVERWRITE=REPORT,$
TO_PRINTER=OFF,$
TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=OVERWRITE,FILENAME="",$
REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMENSIONS=NO,$
