Send Variable from Control to PDF - HELP

Scriptcase 8 Discussion
#1

Hi Guys

I have a control application setup with images as a selection, each selection opens a PDF and should send the created variable to the PDF, which it doesnt…
If I set debug and all script errors to ON I dont even get any errors displayed… the errors do display if I run the control or PDF separately where everything of course works 100%, but then when I make a selection in the control app and get directed to the pdf I get a not found result.
The variable is configured in the control app and set to post out which all seems to be working fine, I don’t think the PDF is grabbing the var, even thou it does request it when run separately.

Will explain again to be sure its understood.

Control application, with image linked to pdf

  • Var setup to post out

PDF

  • var requested on separate run and works, when select from control no record.

Could really do with some help on this, any ideas? more info what ever let me know pls.

Has some export of the app and SQL to do some testing?

Hello,

If you create a new global variable in the Record event of PDF, and put the value of control variable to her, it works in the PDF code.

Example: ( in OnRecord Event):
[global_variable_of_pdf] = [global_variable_from_control];

Yes, or just the app itself. Sometimes helps to take a look.
