Remarks
Argument Type Description
returnstate bool Returnstate is '1' if the function is successful, or
'0' otherwise.
Filename string Pathname of file to be printed.
Note: CX-Supervisor uses the OLE registration information (file extension
associations) to decide how to print a file. It invokes the parent application
associated with a particular file extension, instructing the application to start
minimised and passing the "print" command. For example, if the file extension
.txt is associated with Notepad, then Notepad is invoked to print the file.
Argument Type Description
returnstate bool Returnstate is '1' if the function is successful, or
'0' otherwise.
RecordId integer An index into the file.
Pointname point Name(s) of point(s) to be updated with the data
read from the open file.
Note: It is advisable to use a RecordId less than 1024 whenever possible, in order to
optimise file access time (records 0 to 1023 are cached).
Argument Type Description
returnstate bool Returnstate is '1' if the function is successful, or
'0' otherwise.
