'picutre' mnemonic

[Michael Greer]

Assuming a command like this: print 'picture'(10,10,200,200,"myfile.jpg")
Is there a way to have the image reside on the Windx client?  I have tried prefix the file name with windx and a full path - [wdx]c:\images\myfile.jpg, but to no avail.  Thanks!

If I recall correctly, the 'picture' mnemonic requires the image to be on the local computer. So, if you're using WindX (as we are), you don't need to include the [WDX] or [LCL] prefixing, just the path to the image file. Ours reside in *bmp/

Assuming you are running a current version of PxPlus you should simply have to enable the WindX auto-download for images and WindX will forward the image file to a temporary holding directory on the workstation.

This option is controlled by the +U system parameter.

When enabled the pathname in the PICTURE mnemonic should be the pathname to the image file on the host (server) computer and not the workstation.
