RE: Copy only data from screen

Mark,
 
   If your users are willing to paste the screenshots into a word document the size will be much smaller.  Most email programs seem to have an issue with size once they are pasted into them.

Subject: RE: [fourjs-users] Copy only data from screen



Hello Mark,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

1)       they don't use ASCII mode anymore since a couple of weeks, the graphical mode is a step forwards. But in "old" ASCII mode they could select a part of the forms and paste it in their text.

2)       Their problem with this solution is the size of the e-mail. The e-mail gets bigger than 2 MB. Nor is it possible to past a part of the form (ie name and address) in a text.

 

Is it possible to overcome this problems, or is it just not possible?

 

Best regards,

Met vriendelijke groet,

Nanno;

 

1. 4J's can still run in ASCII mode if that's what your customer wants. Seems like a step backwards.

 

2. You *can* copy the screen from Windows Front End and paste into an email, as long as your email client is capable of handling a graphic.  You would need to set the email program to use HTML for the format of the message, but it works fine. Looks better. We use it all the time.

Subject: [fourjs-users] Copy only data from screen

Hi List,

 

One of our customers is used to copy the screen from ascii 4GL into e-mail.

Now they use 4JS and cannot copy the screen into an e-mail. Because the clipped info is an image and not plain text.

 

Someone knows how to copy only the data from a 4JS screen?

We'te thinking to build something with fglpager and let the customers copy from there. But I think there must be a beter solution.

 

Best regards,

 

Met vriendelijke groet,
