[SOLVED] Zip Format report
Hi all, I am new to WebFocus. I am currently working on 7.6.9. As per the requirement once the user request for the report, the report has to generated in CSV format and compress the reports using ZIP and then I have to show the user "open" "save" and "cancel" dialog box to download. By searching the forums I zipped the reports using DOS commands. But I couldn't proceed with the download functionality. Can anyone help me on this.

Thanks in advance!

never.

That means system commands are not disabled.

If they are, then you cannot have the functionality.
