PFPOSTPRINT question

[Don Coleman]

Windows 2000 Advanced Server, Windows 2000 clients, fP5.0.13, &
PrintWizard

In my pharmacy application I print prescription labels based upon the
customer and drug to various
Datamax bar-code printers using Bob Rasmussen's Print Wizard application
such as below:

  36 -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
-   -
contrl2  If:
       Then: putenv "PFPOSTPRINT","C:\PRINTWIZ\PRINTWIZ.EXE
/P\"I-4308C2\" C:\PRINTWIZ\HARDCOPY.TXT";goto pickprt
  37 -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
-   -
contrl1  If:
       Then: putenv "PFPOSTPRINT","C:\PRINTWIZ\PRINTWIZ.EXE
/P\"I-4308C\" C:\PRINTWIZ\HARDCOPY.TXT";goto pickprt

Currently these printer names are hard-coded into my application.  For
certain customers I now need to be able to specify in my customer file
that I want all label requestions to print to a certain printer.
When using the following line of code I receive a Windows printer error:

  25 -------   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -   -
-   -
         If: HY ne ""
       Then: putenv "PFPOSTPRINT","C:\PRINTWIZ\PRINTWIZ.EXE
/P\"I-4308\"{HY C:\PRINTWIZ\HARDCOPY.TXT";goto pickprt

HY(2, ALLUP) is defined as "R" and I am testing by printing to a Windows
Printer named "I-4308R" bit I receive the Windows Printer error.  If,
from a command line I type:

C:\PRINTWIZ\PRINTWIZ.EXE /pI-4308R C:\PRINTWIZ\HARDCOPY.TXT

it prints just fine.  Instead of just adding the printer initials I
should probably put the entire printer name into my real field in the
customer file and adjust HY accordingly but I don't feel that is causing
my current problem.  Any suggestions?  This will also be helpful in
eventually removing the hard-coded printer names and adding them into
real fields as well.
