I try to create a PDF-File via wkhtmltopdf.exe in Progress4GL. I have written a procedure which downloads a html file as an INPUT.
procedure downloadhtml:
define input parameter i-benutzer as character no-undo.
define variable zw-path as character no-undo.
define variable h-uhrzeit as character no-undo.
define variable h-text as character no-undo.
h-uhrzeit = string(time, "HH:MM:SS").
h-uhrzeit = replace(h-uhrzeit, ":", ".").
h-text = '<div style="color:red;">I am a html file</div>'.
find database.table
where database.table.man = "xxx"
and database.table.krg = "X-2540.w"
and database.table.user = "_PPS"
and database.table.opzt = "_PPN"
no-lock no-error.
if available database.table then do:
zw-path = table.field.
end.
OUTPUT TO VALUE(zw-path + "Name_" + string(today,"99.99.9999") + "_" + h-uhrzeit + "_" + i-benutzer + ".html").
put unformatted h-text skip.
output close.
end procedure.
It downloads the html file to this directory :
K:\K11\WEB\PDF\Name_01.03.2021_09.17.25_xx.html
wkthmltopdf.exe has 1 INPUT and 1 Output Directory. Structure looks like this in CMD Console --> :: [.exe] [INPUT DIRECTORY] [OUTPUT DIRECTORY]
if I run manually cmd console with these commands it works perfectly
cd C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf\
wkhtmltopdf.exe K:\K11\WEB\PDF\Name_01.03.2021_09.17.25_xx.html K:\K11\WEB\PDF\Name_01.03.2021_09.17.25_xx.pdf
My Question is: How can I run .exe File with dynamic(Name depends on Date&Time) INPUT OUTPUT Variables in Progress ?
I found a command which runs .exe file in progress4GL
os-command(wkhtmltopdf.exe)
but how can I put input and output variables/directories in .exe file in progress4gl?
Something like
OS-COMMAND VALUE (SUBSTITUTE ("cd C:\Program Files (x86)\wkhtmltopdf\wkhtmltopdf.exe K:\K11\WEB\PDF\Name_&1.&2.&3.html",
DAY (TODAY),
MONTH (TODAY),
YEAR (TODAY))) .
