Need a variable printer name for DOS/Windows filePro

[Richard D. Williams]

Mike,

Try this.

if  : fa eq ""
then: 
dd(8,yymd)=@TD;tm(6)""{mid(@TM,"1","2"){mid(@TM,"4","2"){mid(@TM,"7","2");fa(50,,g)="/appl/fpmerge/"{dd{tm;printer 
file (fa)


Don't forget to issue the printer reset command when you are done. i.e

@DONE if:
               then: printer reset

Hope this helps,

Richard
