JS Client showpdf & assignpdf commands – OS6.1.3 – Not quite Resolved

Jeff,
Check your variables calculation again.

I just tested this and it did work:

Calculate path as ‘C:temp’
Calculate fileName as ‘BrainyDataTest.pdf’
Calculate lID as con(path,fileName)
Do $cinst.$clientcommand(‘assignpdf’,row(‘oHTML’,’toolbar=1&zoom=20′,lID,20))

Working on a JS Form in OS 6.1.3

1 HTML Object “formObject”
1 Button with the following method.

On evClick
Do myList.$line.$assign(myList.$line+1)
Calculate lID as con(iPDFfolder, myList.documentname) Calculate lID as ‘L:PDFApplication for Title App 130.pdf’
Do $cinst.$clientcommand(“assignpdf”,row(‘formObject’,’toolbar=0&statusbar=1&navpanes=1&zoom=100′,lID,50)) Returns #F

If I comment the second Calculate lID line, so that the path to the existing PDF document is calculated from my list, I get the same error as described below. “You are not allowed to get the [path to file] using the getpdf command.”

If I explicitly set the path as in the second calculate command, the form is assigned to the HTML object and displays as expected.

Stepping through the code, the two lines that calculate lID have the exact same data.
