# sample overnight script for running the stock cost adjustments report

set setup(overnight_script) {

variable start_date [date::startofmonth $login::in_module(PERIOD_END_DATE)]

variable end_date [date::today]

variable report_detail "E"

source Processing/Stock_Costing/Stock_Cost_Update.tcl

output::input "" -output "E" -email pc@acs.co.nz

run_report

}

This sample script runs the stock cost adjustments report and sends the output via email to pc@acs.co.nz.

You need to take care when creating the output as there will be problems if the parameters are invalid and the fbserver program will generate an error and probably stop functioning.

To send output to a printer use: output::input -output P -printer_output "REPORTS" or similar and make sure there is a printer defined with an output of "REPORTS".

Caution is required when defining the overnight script, consult your FastBase support staff for assistance.
