Using a Startup Procedure
The simplest output-routing scheme consists of setting up a Progress application startup procedure for each printer on a system. Each startup procedure could contain the Printer (-o) startup parameter to designate a particular printer as the default printer for the current Progress session.
Figure 7–1 shows a sample application startup procedure on UNIX. This application startup procedure designates lpr -Plw as the default print device for the current Progress session and starts up a Progress application located in the
/usr/appl1
directory that access a database called appldb.Figure 7–1: Sample Application Startup Procedure (UNIX)
![]()
Figure 7–2 shows a sample application startup procedures on NT. This application startup procedure designates LPT2 as the default print device for the current Progress session and starts up a Progress application located in the
/usr/appl1
directory that access a database called appldb.Figure 7–2: Sample Application Startup Procedure (NT)
![]()
After the startup procedures are set up for each system printer, you can designate users to use different startup procedures depending on which output destination they want. For easy user access and maintenance, all of the startup procedures should be located in the directory where the system software is located.
