Files, Streams and Other Software
How do I send a file to a client PC and open the file with a client side App? (i.e. Excel)
The following code sends the file from the server to the Windows client PC and runs a command on the client. You need the Java client for this to work. This example sends a spreadsheet file and launches Microsoft Excel to open the file on the client.
* * Send the file to the client * SET --- TEMP 80 = /tmp/info.csv SET --- TEMP 132 = c:\temp\info.csv PASS --- TEMP 80 FIELD SHARE? Y PASS --- TEMP 132 FIELD SHARE? Y CALL ,RT_SEND_FILE RESIDENT? N END? N FAIL 0 * * Run Excel and open the file * SET --- TEMP 256 = @ APPEND --- TEMP 256 0 "C:\Program Files\Micr APPEND --- TEMP 256 0 osoft Office\Office\EX APPEND --- TEMP 256 0 CEL.EXE" * APPEND --- TEMP 256 1 c:\temp\info.csv * SET --- LI = 256 PASS --- TEMP 256 FIELD SHARE? Y PASS --- LI FIELD SHARE? Y CALL ,RT_LOAD_URL RESIDENT? N END? N FAIL 0 *
