Documentation

Definition

Here you can enter a program that is to be executed after the report has been exported to the presentation server (output medium '2').

In the field 'Parameters' you can specify parameters for the program.

Example

After exporting the report to a PC with Windows or OS/2, you want to load the file to the Excel spreadsheet program. To do so, you would make the following entries:

Program : c:\excel\excel
Parameters &&

If you enter '&&' in the field 'Parameters', the system automatically replaces this entry with the current file name when the program is executed. You do not need to define the path 'c:\excel' (or the path on your PC) if you have set this as the standard path.

You can define default parameters for the program and parameters for each report.
