How open or print a file pdf from Sage script

To open a pdf file from an adonix program, you can use the call ETAT From AIMP3.
To indicate that the pdf must be opened on the screen, you have to indicate a destination of type PREVIEW as the print destination.

Below is an example of a program that takes the path of a pdf file as a parameter and opens it to a video.
Warning: this code has been tested for version 6.5.

Subprog APRIPDF(FILENAME)
 Value Char FILENAME()
# the following two are arrays  
# TBPAR contains the name of the print parameter 
# TBVAL contains its value
Local Char TBPAR(15)(1..6), TBVAL(200)(1..6)
 
GSILENCE = 1              # global variable that inhibits all the messages on the screen
TBPAR(1) = "docjoin"      # first and only parameter of the "ADOC" press code (attached print)
TBVAL(1) = FILENAME       # value of parameter

Call ETAT("ADOC","","",1,"",TBPAR,TBVAL) From AIMP3 

GSILENCE = 0              # restore the value of GSILENCE
End

To use this program:

#for local path
Call APRIPDF("c:\folder\sub\myfile.pdf") from YSAGEDEV
#or for network path
Call APRIPDF("\\server\folder\sub\filename.pdf") from YSAGEDEV

But let’s see the call in detail ETAT From AIMP3:

Call ETAT(CODE,DESTINATION,LANGUAGE,TRACE,MSG,TBPAR,TBVAL) From AIMP3 

• CODICE it’s the printing code that you find by going to the function GESARP
• DESTINATION it is the printing destination (attention that depending on the type of destination the actions performed may be different)
• LANGUAGE language to print, if it’s blank, the session language is usedWhat changes the language?
  1. title of the print (parameter X3TIT pass to a Crystal Report)
  2. il parameter X3LAN pass to Crystal Report, on which any translations can be based
  3. the folder where find the report (file .rpt), if code print is nel caso il codice di stampa is referred to as multilingual(folders ITA, ENG ecc in REPORT folder)
• TRACE indicates if a log file should be written (1 writes it, 0 does not write it)
• MSG contains any message to be written to the track or to be displayed interactively
• TBPAR contains the list of print parameter names (those found in GESARP)
• TBVAL contains the list of print parameter values, in the same order as TBPAR

It is clear that with this call you can do much more than just open a pdf!
