Basic program prints lazerized invoices on a boilerplate form. I've added a second section to the program to reprint the invoices as individual PDF's and copy each one to a non-QDIR archive on the server.
The billing clerk has complained that the PDF process takes "forever". Based on the time stamps for several runs totalling over 800 invoices the rate is about 40/minute. The only variable I might be able to control, in the process, is the copy speed.
Thinking that a DOS copy would be fastest, I coded the program as follows ...
AX$ = "@FFF9@"
BX$ = "@0000@"
DOSMS(AX$,BX$,PDFName$,ARCName$) EXCP = DOSERROR
Would "(CopyFile=PDFName$,ARCName$,2048)" be faster?
Each file can be a maximum of 1MB in length Uploaded files will be purged from the server on a regular basis.
