[SOLVED] Print JobID under Windows

Author: gianni.sandigliano@unifacesolutions.com (gianni)

Hi Unifacers, I have a nice Uniface hidden form or Uniface report printing on Windows to current default printer with /nodialog into printer attributes. Any idea on how to get print JobID just generated from Uniface from the spooler subsystem? Thanks in advance for any tips or trick! Gianni

Executing: print "MYPRINTER", "A" vStatus = $status vResult = $result activate "WINOS".commandout("wmic printjob get JobId,HostPrintQueue,Owner,Document,Size,DriverName,Color,PaperSize,JobStatus,TimeSubmitted", vJobs) and a proper parsing of vJobs string has made the trick. It could be marked as [Solved] Gianni
