RE: Creating a script in Millennium

[zoltan dot tomory at mobot dot org]

I hope I do not misunderstand what you are saying. I am not a regular user
of create lists in the charcter based system, but the functionality in the
old system seems comparable to that found in the new system. The icon to
click into has a circle with an arrow going through it. Find an empty set.
Click on "search records". Run your search. When done, "list records" is
intended to send stuff to the printer, but I think you can divert it to a
text file. More typically, you can use the "export files" button and save
your information to disk in a machine friendly way that can be dumped into
things like spreadsheets. These get saved to your disk.

>From the general way you phrased your question it seemed unclear about
whether you might have wanted to have the script lurking in the background
and launching itself, but I did not think I saw anything like that on the
character based system, so I discounted the possibility. If this is what you
are interested in however, ther is a free program called JTAutoEntry
available over the web that may do the job. Your task has to be broken into
discete keystrokes, however, which you may or may not be able to do with
Millennium's graphical interface. Also, the program  works, you have to
conservatively estimate the time it takes to accomplish an operation,
because the program is not looking. Still, once you get it to do what you
want, it's nice. Available from http://www.jtdata.com/ for free.

Still, the question sounds too easy. I assume my answer may not be what you
are looking for, but in case it is, here it is. If I am wrong, more details
might be helpful.

Good Luck

Subject: Creating a script in Millennium


I am trying to create a script to create a list in Millennium that will
dump the file on a specific workstation that the script is running on. 
What software is being used to do this or does it have to be done in the
text base only?

Thanks for you help.
