MOBIUS script

[VegasNath]

Admin, please move if you feel appropriate.

I am asking here as thorough searching has turned up nothing of use, and very little goes unanswered here.

Does any lounger have experience with MOBIUS scripting language? The snippet below means very little to me, other than it is used to automatically retreive reports from 'DocumentDirect'

Code: Select all

OPENVIEW SERVERID 'DATAVPLS                      ' REPORTID 'C4Z302    '
GOTO  PAGE 99999999999 
GOTO RELATIVE PAGE -1
EXPORT ASCII FILE 'P:\Sec\C4Z302.txt' CURPAGE GROUP ''
GOTO  PAGE 99999999999
EXPORT ASCII FILE 'P:\Sec\C4Z302.txt' CURPAGE APPEND GROUP ''
CLOSE

OPENVIEW SERVERID 'DATAVPLS                      ' REPORTID 'C4R16    '
EXPORT ASCII FILE 'P:\Sec\C4R16.txt' ALL GROUP ''
CLOSE

OPENVIEW SERVERID 'DATAVPLS                      ' REPORTID 'C4O08     '
GOTO  PAGE 1 SECTIONID '120 699 O08                   000000000000003'
EXPORT ASCII FILE 'P:\Sec\C4O08.txt' CURSEC GROUP ''
CLOSEDS SERVERID 'DATAVPLS'

I am trying to find support with the language, report parsing, exporting, error handling etc....

Any pointers greatfully received.

Let's see if you get a helpful reply here. If not, we can move this thread to the "Other Applications" forum in a few days.

we can move this thread ...

Now there's a new twist!

[HansV]

Are you suggesting that, after two twists, this thread will end up here again?

Two twists and 25,000 miles later ...

Might be worth a shot Hans, though I am not holding out much hope.

This thread was originally posted in the VB/VBA forum. Since it didn't get a helpful reply there, I have moved it here.

You might try the Circular Labs Forums - although they're not very active, they're run by the developer of Mobius Script.

first line: openview is to open the report you want to export. SERVERID and REPORTID and VERSIONID are just as they would be if you manually located the report.
second line: export is where you want to put your exported document.
CURPAGE GROUP = export current page
CURPAGE APPEND GROUP = export current page and append it to export from above.

CURSEC GROUP = export current section
CURSEC APPEND GROUP = export current section and append it to export from above.


ALL GROUP = export all sections
