Consider some instances when we may need to invoke an external application from within Sage X3. The best example for such a requirement would be to export data to an excel file or any other format and then open the same using excel or any other application.

Check product: Sage CRM – Sage X3 Integration on Marketplace

Here is how you can do that!

System CHAINE=’#@”C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\WINWORD.EXE”‘
System CHAINE='”C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\Office12\Excel.EXE” “D:\Junk\Default Excel File.xls”‘ (Will open the Excel File “Default Excel File.xls”)

The above command line will open Microsoft Word Application and an Excel File. You can test your command line using Development -> Utilities -> Miscellaneous -> System Orders Option.

Notes:

The # represents the application server name if the server is # the application is launched on the client workstation.
The command must be put in double quotes if there are spaces in the interior of the names.
Please be aware that the application that you want to execute must be installed on the client, so it’s better to verify and then execute.
Secondly executing such commands over the browser is impossible due to the challenges of windows security and firewall (We have not tested though).

Users can also run it in a Batch mode as well.

Valores de fstat

Fstat fstat is a numeric status that is returned upon execution of a database operation, a sequential file operation, or a lock instruction. Syntax fstat Examples # MYTABLE is a table with a key called KEY1, that has a unique component called KEYVAL # Create a record in the table MYTABLE with they key value 1 if it doesn't exist Local File MYTABLE [MYT] Read [MYT]KEY1=1 If fstat [MYT]KEYVAL=1 : Write [MYT] If fstat MSG="The key was created in the mean time" Else MSG="Key created" Endif Else MSG="Key already exists" Endif Details fstat is always set to '0' if the operation is successfully completed, and has a non-null value if there is an error: In a sequential read ( Getseq and Rdseq ), fstat is set to '1' at the end of the file. On Lock , fstat is set to '1' if the lock could not be performed. For a database operation ( Read , Look , Readlock , For , Write , Delete , R

3 ways to send a mail from code in Sage X3, with more attachments too

Origen Fuente: https://en.sagedev.it/sagex3/send-mail-from-code-with-attachments-sage-x3/ Autor: https://en.sagedev.it/category/sagex3/ In this post I’ll show you how to send a mail from adonix code in Sage X3. The points we will face are: 1) Meladx/Send introduction 2) Sending through meladx (the best way for me: at the end with just a single code line you send a mail!) 3) Sending through Workflow 4) Sending through ENVOI_MAIL(…) From AWRKMEL Sending mail from code in Sage X3: Send vs meladx Sage X3 has two native ways for sending mails. The first way is meladx executable file, that you can find in runtime\bin directory. The seconde one is Send instruction, that was used to send mail through an application of the client station (for more information on “Send GSERMES” go here ). The Meladx executable Meladx send messages through SMTP/POP3 protocols by means of the mail server specified in the command. When sending is launched by a work

How to upload a file from the client?

You may have a need to upload a file to the server, and in the past you may have used COPSRV routine from ORDSYS. On V6 the limit that this routine had was that, you did not know the file name of the file that is getting transferred to the server, and you had to define the file name for the destination. But things have changed on newer version. Before we get to the example review online help title "How to manage files in the storage area" As you noted in the online help, in the new version COPSRV will copy the file to server TMP directory. So in below example I am going to use another routine MOVE from ORDSYS to move the file to my desired location. In this example, I am adding a button to Sales order, for transferring the file. Open Development, Script dictionary, Windows. Select OSOH window. Add a new button. Save and Validate. Open Setup, Sales, Entry transactions, Orders. Validate the entry transaction. Now open Development, Scr
