Device Data (ttaad3500m000)

This device code is a unique code that identifies a printer.

You can choose a unique name for a device, however the name SMTP is reserved for Microsoft Outlook to send the print file directly to e-mail and the name FAX is reserved to print directly to a FAX device.

This code is used by a user to send a report to an output device.

Possible values

The user locale belonging to the user who makes a print request, must be equal to the print locale. If a user tries to select a print device with a locale different from the user locale, the LN system sends an error message and the report will not be printed.

This 4GL Program field is only applicable for the Device Types: Rewrite file and Append to file.

The most important available LN 4GL program to mention here is the conversion program: ttstpconv.

This program is able to convert a LN Report to several formats, for example HTML, RTF, Postscript, etc.

To specify the type of conversion to be done, the program uses Program Arguments, that can be specified in the Argument field.

Another available LN 4GL Program is the CMF (Common Messaging Facility) Print Utility: ttcmfprint.

The ttcmfprint utility is able to send a LN Report to an E-mail address, Fax etc.

The ttcmfprint utility always converts the report to RTF format.

See the Argument field for details about the Conversion Programs.
