[U2] Escaping the '&' in Windows XP from Universe

EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv CAPTURING msg RETURNING err Windows is choking on the "&". It thinks "HOLD" is a file in the LFC directory.

Re: [U2] Escaping the '&' in Windows XP from Universe
How about EXECUTE "DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv" So that it's all one command? And your fall back could always be to move the &HOLD& record into another file without the &s and Execute against it.

Re: [U2] Windows UV & host based printers
I've recently encountered host-based printer problems and had SEVERAL discussions with HP American tech support about this (no offense to the outsourcers out there, but it was helpful to have easy communication) and after we moved beyond the typical "manual" of HP answers, the higher tech support levels and I found a solution to it. Don't use host-based printing in a shared printer environment. Host-based printing is good for using when the printer is connected directly to the machine which will be doing the output. I doubt that you're printing from the computer that has the Unidata server installed, but if you are, make sure that you're using the USB connection. If you're not printing from the machine with the server on it, then don't use the host-based printing. Because the U2 reports are mostly ASCII-based as far as I know, host-based printing at HP doesn't support it. There are a couple of articles on HP's website regarding this. You need a printer with native printer drivers such as PCL5 or PCL6. On 4/20/06, Mike Pflugfelder <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Windows Server 2003 Universe 10.1.11 Printer: HP Color LaserJet 2600n From what I've found on HP's website and some other research on the net, it appears that this printer uses a 'host-based printer driver' or 'host-based printing'. Does anyone have any experience with this specific printer, or more information about host-based printers in general? The problem that we're having right now is that we can print a test page from Windows and it prints fine. When we try to print from Universe, nothing comes out on the printer. We've paused the printer and printed from Universe and I can see the job hang in the queue waiting to print. We then unpause the printer and still, nothing prints. It appears from the documentation that printers are being made with less intelligence now. They're taking the hardware out of the printer that does the formatting (converting from text to raster) and they're now building it in to the driver in windows. I haven't tested it yet, but I know that there is the GDI option to the SETPTR command that might work for us. Does anyone know if I will still be able to pass PCL codes through with this mode of printing? Thanks for any help you can provide.

Re: [U2] Escaping the '&' in Windows XP from Universe
I'm a U2 newbie, so can't test (EXECUTE is not in my VOC, sadly), but as an XP guy, I have a couple of thoughts: a) two parsers are involved (UV and XP), and the second one (XP) needs to see the quote -- suggest using "" or even """ (i.e., escape the quote itself to be sure it gets through to XP) b) use "ECHO" in front of "DIR" to have XP print what it thinks it is about to execute. So run: >EXECUTE DOS /C ECHO DIR ""UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv"" Should report (somewhere!): DIR "UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv" c) if none of this helps, under xp, "cmd /?" provides some insight to quote handling Bill -Original Message- >From: Roger Glenfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Sent: Apr 28, 2006 1:41 PM >To: Eric Armstrong <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], U2Users >Subject: Re: [U2] Escaping the '&' in Windows XP from Universe > >How about > >EXECUTE "DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv" > >So that it's all one command? > >And your fall back could always be to move the &HOLD& record into >another file without the &s and Execute against it. > >Rog > >Eric Armstrong wrote: >> Does anyone know how to escape the "&" in the following Basic EXECUTE >> statement? >> >> EXECUTE DOS /C DIR UVUSR\LFC\&HOLD&\INSRECAP\SutherlandIssues200604.csv >> CAPTURING msg RETURNING err >> >> Windows is choking on the "&".
