RE: Printing a pdf document from ile/cl -- RPG400-L

Yes, that would be the easier way, and we already do that.

In this case the document is an Invoice that is archived down through
several directories/folders and is findable but takes time.

Programmatically, I know where it is. I just want to select it and do it.
... No confusion for the user. Just open and print.

Thanks

Terry Nonamaker

If the data is staying in a folder in the IFS and the naming convention was
such that it would describe what document it was, couldn't you use a shared
folder so the user's could just click on the .pdf document to open it up?
Then you could just print it from Adobe...

Did I over simplify this?  I am already doing this with .CSV's that I am
creating and I think it should work for .PDF's.
