Greetings,
Well... technically the Status field - at least the D("Status") that we
provide (not one that is in a file) is updated in real time. It is
stored in the .BDS file. And if this is what you are using - I can show
you how to see this info using DataStation Reports.
Or does your spreadsheet actually have a field named Status and you
selected the "update Excel" option when you configured reading the file?
If that's the case, I have a trick as well to update these "on the fly"
too.
Saw the comment about excel "displaying"
You don't need to worry about that when you're using the DataStation.
To turn a script over there is nothing you need to "add".
First thing that's needed is to install a (most likely) runtime license
on the PC itself. Since you're reading from files - be sure the way the
script reads the file matches up with where the file will reside!
The Runtime does have a UI to play the scripts - or you can create an
icon to run it.
Since I didn't see who you are - I don't get the email address anymore
when folks post so folks please add a signature or something!
I don't have a way to reach out and chat about your specifics.
Regards,
Thom

Subject: [talkbws] Scripting Recommendations
I am new to BWS scripting and have written a few scripts that remain in
IT. I am in the process of turning a script over to non-IT end-users
and am wondering if some things are possible
1. This script reads an excel file and executes a process in
Meditech. When each record is processed, it updates the status field as
"Processed". My problem - if the script bombs half way thru the
spreadsheet the excel spreadsheet doesn't update that status fields
until the "Wrap Up" step in the script so I don't know which records are
processed and which need to be processed. How can I have the script
update the status field "realtime" so if something happens we can see
what row is causing the issue?
2. When I turn the script over to the end-users, is there something
that needs to be included in the script that will allow them to continue
working on non-script related tasks? When I run the script, I watch the
process to make sure all errors, issues are resolved. I don't want to
turn this over to the end-users and tell them that their computer cannot
be used during the execution of the script. I'd would prefer them to be
able to continue on with their daily tasks. Is there a recommendation
for turning over scripts to end-users?
Any help you are able to provide is appreciated.
Thanks!
