Open web pages from QAB - E4000002 - 19 Oct 1999
The 4.617 QAB will allow you to open documents of any type for which there is
an "Open" command in Explorer. In particular you will be able to open HTML
documents, assuming Internet Explorer or Netscape are installed. For this
enhancement to work you will have to first download and install
E4000001
.
Using this enhancement has two advantages over launching a suitable program
directly:
-
You do not need to know the name or path of the program which opens the
document.
-
The actual program to be used will be the users choice of default program to
open that document type.
To use the facility you need to define a "run another program" procedure which
specifies the name of the document to be opened. You must also use the new
special %DOCUMENT (or %DOC) option (analogous to %BATCH) in the command line
for the QAB procedure.
DP4 Version Compatibility
4.617 only. (E400001 also required, and programs using the enhancement will not
function properly on 4.616 systems.)
Beta software is supplied without warranty and should not be used in live sites
without the agreement of Itim Technology Solutions. Compatibility with an eventual final
release cannot be guaranteed.
