Re: Declare-Report/Declare-Printer

[Kris Narravula <kris_narravula@HOTMAIL.COM>]

It didn't work for us either and  we had to postpone our plans to use the
"Last-Page" number till we upgrade to PS Ver 8.0. To my knowledge, when you
use the Declare-Report in your SQR Report and run it to printer from the
PeopleSoft,  PS is trying to create an .spf file treating the "lpt1"/ "lpt2"
or the printer alias name as the destination directory which we can't. Based
on the .spf file it creates the .lis file.

We could not find a work around other than running the report to a file and
copying it to printer directory from the DOS prompt. If you are not
comfortable with printing the .lis from the DSO command, you might think of
writing a small SQR program do the same and which we can invoke from
PeopleSoft or in some other way.

All the best
Kris
