AREV Specific

Dear all,

I'm having trouble trying to hide or have this command line

PCPERFORM "NET USE LPT1 \\CL0355\Zebra105" to run in the background.

I have to use the above command because redirecting printout

with the command MODE LPT1:=COM1: does not work in Windows NT 4.0.

The system used to be stand-alone and runs under DOS, so there is no problem before.

I think running a production system on Win9x is definitely a bad idea.

My question:

1) How can have NET USE LPT1 …. running in the background?I don't want the PRESS RETURN to return to …… message box to pop up everytime i print something.

Please advise.

Thank you.

Are you using the TCL PCPERFORM

PCPERFORM EXIT NET USE

(EXIT is the key here)

or the RBASIC PCPERFORM

where this should not be necessary?

How do I know which PCPERFORM am I using?

Are you doing it from TCL or from within a program? If from within a program are you

PCPERFORM "NET USE"

or

Execute "PCPERFORM NET USE"

I'm using PCPERFORM within a program.

But, I think I have solved the problem

by using

PERFORM "PC EXIT NET USE LPT1 \\cl0355\Zebra105"

there are no more message box asking me to press ENTER to return to Advance Revelation.

thanks you for your help.

Thanks , I think I got the problem settled now.

I just use PERFORM "PC EXIT NET USE LPT1 /DELETE"

within my program.

right now, it does not prompt the user to press RETURN to program.
