Saving Pdf and Csv reports without prompting the user

Currently I am trying to write a C# app that will run a PCDmis program and then save the reports with specific names, in a specific folder based on some inputs from another source. I found an example of what I'm trying to do but it involves changing the prg file directly and I was wondering if I can do the same thing in C#?

I found this code from DAN_M from 2021 but it's an embedded script.

GROUP_PRINT_COMMANDS=GROUP/SHOWALLPARAMS=YES
ASSIGN/NUMOOT=GETPROGRAMINFO("NUMOOT")
ASSIGN/PROG_NAME=GETPROGRAMINFO ("PARTNAME")
ASSIGN/DATE=STR(SYSTEMDATE ("dMMMyyyy"))
ASSIGN/TIME=STR(SYSTEMTIME ("HHmmss"))
ASSIGN/REJECT="____REJECT____"
IF/NUMOOT=="0"
ASSIGN/REPORT_NAME="O:\\CMM PROGRAMS\\CMM_PDF_PC DMIS\\AG0OFFLINETEST\\"+PROG_NAME+"__"+VAR_SERIAL_ NUMBER+"__"+VAR_RUNNUMBER+"__"+DATE+"__"+TIME+"__. PDF"
END_IF/
ELSE/
ASSIGN/REPORT_NAME="O:\\CMM PROGRAMS\\CMM_PDF_PC DMIS\\AG0OFFLINETEST\\"+PROG_NAME+"__"+VAR_SERIAL_ NUMBER+"__"+VAR_RUNNUMBER+"__"+DATE+"__"+TIME+"__" +REJECT+".PDF"
END_ELSE/
PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$
TO_FILE=ON,AUTO=1,AUTO OPEN=OFF,$
TO_PRINTER=OFF,COPIES=1,$
TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=OVERWRITE,FILENAME= [B]REPORT_NAME[/B],$
REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMENSIONS=NO,$
TO_EXCEL=OFF,$
PREVIOUS_RUNS=KEEP_INSTANCES
ENDGROUP/ID=GROUP_PRINT_COMMANDS

Hi,

In this example the file path is hardcoded with some pcDMIS functions (such as Date() or GETPROGRAMINFO("PARTNAME")).

You can also ignore this functionality and assign a new path to the pcDMIS variable "REPORT_NAME" directly from C++ with the ".PutText" command.

something like this:

ASSIGN/REPORT_NAME="a Path set by C++ programm" PRINT/REPORT,EXEC MODE=END,$ TO_FILE=ON,AUTO=1,AUTO OPEN=OFF,$ TO_PRINTER=OFF,COPIES=1,$ TO_DMIS_REPORT=OFF,FILE_OPTION=OVERWRITE,FILENAME= [B]REPORT_NAME[/B],$ REPORT_THEORETICALS=NONE,REPORT_FEATURE_WITH_DIMENSIONS=NO,$ TO_EXCEL=OFF,$ PREVIOUS_RUNS=KEEP_INSTANCES ENDGROUP/ID=GROUP_PRINT_COMMANDS

make sure you set the path before reading the pcDMIS print command otherwise, if the path doesn't exist, the user will be prompted with a save pdf dialog
