Print output file always empty - TUI - Java - RBD 9.5.1

  • 1.  Print output file always empty - TUI - Java - RBD 9.5.1

    Posted Fri October 19, 2018 03:46 PM

    Hi all,

    I have a very simple TUI program with a printform which I want to send to as print output to a physical file.

    I have this code:

    converseVar.printerAssociation = "printer" ;
    TestPrintForm.field="Hello world!";
    print TestPrintForm;
    close TestPrintForm;

    And on resource association I have this:

    <association fileName="printer">
    <win>
    <seqws systemName="C:\Users\rafael\Desktop\PrintOutput.txt"/>
    </win>
    <aix>
    <seqws systemName="PrintOutput.txt"/>
    </aix>
    </association>

    When application runs, the file PrintOutput.txt is created, however it is always empty. Am I doing something wrong?

    Same bahaviour happens on both Windows (when I run locally) and AIX (when I generate application to run on the server).

    Hi @Rafael CHC caa5fda2-6868-49d2-9dab-04039b259984


    We are using BIRT for printing system.
    It was very difficult until we got to the result ..
    Many pranks .. but .. we finally managed to generate impressions, using BIRT.
     

    If you want to go this way, return the contact.

    Hi Rafael,

     

    My apologies, I only just noticed your post.

    The issue you describe is a defect I have experienced myself, if you create a support case for my RBD team I will be happy to provide a test fix to resolve the problem for you.

     

    Thanks and Regards
    Mark
