String returned from axlDMFileBrowse()

VTAA

 Hi All,

Would you please kindly point out what did I do wrong in few lines of code below?

My objective is to acquire file name of browser, pass it to IDF_IN fuction. My variable
"file_name" is recongized by axlUIViewFileCreate() function but is not recognized
by axlRunBatchDBProgram(....-d PTC) option. How should I handle that variable?

Any effort is much appreciated.

   procedure(view_file()
   let( (emn_file file_name idf_result cur_db)
     file_name = axlDMFileBrowse(nil nil ?optFilters "MCAD file (*.emn)|*.emn")
     axlRunBatchDBProgram("My IDF in" "idf_in -o %s
                                          -d PTC file_name"
                                          ?reloadDB t)
     axlUIViewFileCreate(file_name "My EMN file" nil)
   )) ; end let, end procedure my IDF in 

Thanks in advcance,
Vinh Ta

    Try this:

    axlRunBatchDBProgram("My IDF in" sprintf(nil, "idf_in -d PTC %s", file_name) ?reloadDB t)

    You could try adding the ?logfile option to the axlRunBatchDBProgram command but I don't ever have much success with that.
