Possibility to automate a run statement

Posted by Venky on 16-Apr-2015 23:44

Hi All,

I am new to this kind of thing.

I have a program to run on procedure editor. Now I am doing it as

1) open procedure editor, using a desktop shortcut

2) write 'run test.p' and 'F2' to run

Is there a way to automate this as a .bat or another shortcut.

Exactly.
 
You either run prowin32 –p _edit (the editor) or prowin32 –p <your procedure>.
 
Take a copy of your editor desktop or start menu shortcut and add –p <your procedure>
 
That should start your procedure with the same settings as you usually start the editor.

Why do you have to launch the procedure editor? That doesn't make much sense to me?

Any inputs please

Problem is 1) I have to initiate my procedure editor instance and then 2) run my program from that editor.

I don't want to launch the editor. Goal is to run my program in a PE instance started with my specific parameters that will have valid session details for my program to run.

"I don't want to launch the editor. Goal is to run my program in a PE instance"

How would you get a Procedure Editor instance without launching the editor ?

And why do you need the Procedure Editor context in a way that prevents your own program from being the startup parameter ?
