Thanks in advance

Hi,

WshShell of the "Windows Scripting Host" Automation can be used.

Eg:

Variable : WSHShell as Automation 'Windows Script Host Object Model'.WshShell

IF ISCLEAR(WSHShell) THEN

CREATE(WSHShell,FALSE,TRUE);

WSHShell.SendKeys('^+I');

Best Regards,

MMV

You can use the SHELL function, with a return value. Navision will start the batch routine and wait until it's finished, if you call the SHELL function like this:

retvalue := SHELL('c:\temp\runme.bat');

Thanks to all of you,

My main reason to run this batch file to upload files to FTP server. With the help IGOR PCHELNIKOV i am able to upload the file directly from NAV to FTP server.

Name DataType Subtype Length

FTPRequest DotNet System.Net.FtpWebRequest.'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

FTPResponse DotNet System.Net.FtpWebResponse.'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

Credentials DotNet System.Net.NetworkCredential.'System, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089'

This can be done with NAV existing variables.

Thanks alot for the support.
