| Title | QTIPS - Using INIT.VIEW with Printers |
| Keywords | INIT.VIEW @VIEW.MODE PRINTER |
| Text | Al Blake at the World Conservation Monitoring Centre in Cambridge recently asked "how do I work INIT VIEW WITH the printer?" This is a problem infrequently seen so for the benefit of those who have not encountered it If you make a call to INIT VIEW and set @VIEW MODE to 1 screen output will be paged a la LIST command (REVMEDIA passim) If in the same program you subsequently turn the printer on and print to it corruption occurs: the screen flashes the heading and a box is sent to the printer After initial experimentation involving SETTING @VIEW MODE to 0 it was eventually found that SETTING @VIEW MODE to null ("") or TRANSFERing @VIEW MODE to a dummy variable (which accomplishes the same result) fixes the problem * Finish screen output @VIEW MODE = "" PRINTER ON * etc This is interesting as it implies that the person responsible for testing @VIEW MODE at RevTech is not USING a boolean (IF @VIEW MODE THEN) check but is USING a length comparison (IF LEN(@VIEW MODE) THEN) (Volume 2 Issue 5 Page 7) |
