SP_P_READY

P_READY()

  Short:
  ------
  P_READY() Determines if printer is ready, prompts user

  Returns:
  --------
  <lReady> => True if printer is ready

  Syntax:
  -------
  P_READY([cPort])

  Description:
  ------------
  Checks for printer ready, and prompts user to ready
  the printer until it is ready, or until user presses escape to
  abort printing.

  P_READY() first looks at SLS_PRNC(), and if the
  value is .f., does no printer check and returns .t.

  [cPort] - LPT1 LPT2 LPT3
  Default is LPT1

  Examples:
  ---------
   if P_READY("LPT2")
     REPORT FORM yayaya TO PRINT
   ENDIF

  Notes:
  -------
  To stop P_READY() from checking the printer port (as
  it is imbedded in many SuperLib functions), call SLS_PRNC() with
  False. This turns printer checking off. (i.e. on a network)

FT_PFLUSH

Posted on by vivaclipper 
FT_PFLUSH()
 Flush a NetWare capture buffer

 Syntax

     FT_PFLUSH( [ <nLPTPortNumber> ] ) -> NIL

 Arguments

    <nLPTPortNumber> is the captured LPT port number to flush.  If the
    parameter is omitted, the default port or LPT1: is used.

 Returns

    NIL

 Description

   This routine is used to force a Novell NetWare capture buffer to print
   it's contents.  This is useful for printing reports with a filter set
   and you don't know how long it will be between print statements.  With
   a FT_PFLUSH() function at the end of any printing, you can have the
   timeout value for any capture set to 0 (zero).

   This routine was designed and written for Advanced NetWare 286 v 2.0 or
   NetWare 386 v 3.0 or better.  It has been tested on Advanced NetWare 286
   v 2.15 rev A & C, NetWare 386 v 3.0.

   This source code was written for Microsoft Macro Assembler v5.1.

 Examples

   (in DOS)
   F:>CAPTURE S=ServerName Q=PrintQueueName TI=0 L=1

   (in your Clipper application)
   SET FILTER TO Left( FONELIST->PHONENUM, 3 ) == "415"
   GO TOP
   SET PRINT ON
   DO WHILE .NOT. Eof()
     ? fonelist->lastname...
     SKIP
   ENDDO
   FT_PFLUSH(1)     && I could just say FT_PFLUSH() here as well.
