Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has a sample alert .p file that creates a
basic .txt file.

Just looking for anything that will get me started.

I have a program that will automatically send a crystal report if a
trigger file is created in a monitored folder.

The .txt file just needs to have the report name and a key field in
it, and it will use that data to pull up the proper report and place
the parameter in before exporting it to pdf and emailing it out.

The result: when a DMR is generated, several employees will get an
email with a crystal report showing all sorts of crazy info about the
part in question. And the best part, it would be automated.

If I get it to work, I'd be more than happy to share...

Thanks!
Ben

  I've attached a simple .p I wrote to save a data item into an existing text file, in this case the procedure is called as a 'function' with the data being saved coming in as an 'input'.

This should work:

OUTPUT TO //server/share/filename.txt.
PUT UNFORMATTED yourdata SKIP.
OUTPUT CLOSE.
