arev printer environment

BarryStevens

does anyone know where the 'printer environment' settings are stored?

DonBakke

The AREVC.INI file.

Looking at flds 13 & 14, what is that values separator character - srpeditor shows Chinese symbols!!!

DonBakke

Can you show me what you are seeing? The delimiters are value marks:

BarryStevens

Wow, that was weird, opened again and they are now value marks (same as your image)

Thanks, sorry about that.

DonBakke

May I ask what you are trying to accomplish? The information in this file gets loaded into system variables so your needs might be better served with a different approach.

BarryStevens

What windows printer name has been assigned to the AREV printer name 'RECEIPTS'

DonBakke

So the Printer Environment window wasn't helpful?

BarryStevens

From an OI proc I need to print(OIPI) to the printer with a 'silent' printer selection.
i.e. Get the 'printer type' = RECEIPTS and retrieve the 'Name' to pass to set_printer INIT

BarryStevens

..the OI proc is called from AREV64, so I assume the 'system variable' is only available from AREV64, if so, I would then have to pass to my oiproc when called.
I have looked at Dave's (RIP) 'AREV COMPANION' and the relevant system variable is not jumping out at me (on first quick scan)

thanks to revwiki and sprezz revmedia links I was able to work out and then get this to get my required results.

DECLARE FUNCTION GETCONFIGURE
ERROR = GETCONFIGURE(INFO)
PrinterNames = INFO<29>
PrinterPort = INFO<41>

and of course I could just use (yes found it ) @environ.set<92> & <93>
But, looks like GETCONFIGURE gives some other cool centralised information.
