Re: [Re: Print Immediate Y or N by version]
I just implemented a quasi-solution for this.
I created 2 tasks and added them to the task list (or menu for you
oexplore.exe users). They are windows tasks that call Windows command line
scripts.
Within the .cmd scripts I call a NT resource utility called munge.exe. This
utility will do a find/replace in text files.
My task "Print Immediate ON" calls PrintOn.cmd which sets
the PrintImmediate line in the JDE.INI to TRUE
The task "Print Immediate OFF" calls PrintOff.cmd which flips the
value back to PrintImmediate=FALSE
This allow users to turn it on when the need it (e.g. when they are printing
several work orders) and turn it off when they don't want their batch jobs to
go directly to the printer. The requirement for this solution is that you
have the Default Printers table populated correctly for specific
Users/Groups/UBEs/Versions as necessary.
We use roaming profiles with Citrix so the JDE.INI file is read from the
roaming \windows location rather than c:\winnt or c:\documents and
settings\<user name>\windows when a batch job is submitted to the server, so
this is the only JDE.INI file I update.

can't provide a solution, but I think JDE should.
