How to run a Batch file (.bat) in Navision

sliew

Hi,

I have a batch file that appends several files together. I would like to call it in a code unit.
I used the SHELL function, but the only problem is that I have no result from the batch.

can someone explain to me how can I run a .bat file and tell Navision to wait until the task has ended.
Thanks a lot

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');

Hi,

I am using mention code in nav 2016 I face error could not find file on path

1.) Please don't use shellscripts/bat in nav 2016, those days are way over
If you want to use FTP in nav 2016 look for built-in functions or do it in .NET
2.) Please don't post in 16 year old - prehistoric threads.

1) we talk about Navision Financials. In Financials You also can use variables with DataType=Automation.
2) Unlike Microsoft, here you can also get support for older navision versions.
