Calling another program

Is it possible to call another program (vlc media player in my case) in a VI???I dont want to use the Active X control for playin videos as it does not have much playback functions...

Use the System exec.vi to launch any executable from LabVIEW in your case VLC player. Provide the required inputs path, command line args so that you can obtain the desired functionality.

Calling another program from the current program

Hi all,
In our requirement we are calling another program from our current program .
In the current program( from which we are calling ) we are giving file name in the selection screen
and when we run the current program we are successfully going to other program but our main requirement is to higlight the file name which we had given earlier .
Note : The called program doesnt have any selection screen.

HI
use EXPORT and IMPORT key words for passing data from one program to another program.
as the called program is available in the same session you can use above key words which means you are accessing ABAP MEMORY.
You can also use SET and GET key words which means SAP memory
take F1 help there are examples tooo and detailes explanation abou the same

Calling another program and waiting for output

Hi,
I'm writing a program that passes a file created for an application called Net Sim but has to wait for the output. Net Sim lies in another directory from the java files and I don't know how to call the program with the file created as a parameter, such as:
ns2 network1.tcl
where 'ns2' is the dos command to run net sim and 'network1.tcl' is a file passed as a parameter to the program.
I've tried
try{
Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
r.exec(" <directory> ");
}catch(IOException e){
System.out.println("Error " +e);
This doesn't work though and I could use some help, as well as how to save the file created by the program in another directory.
Finally, I need to know how to make the program wait for the output from net sim which is a file I intend to use. Can I do this with a while loop etc.?
I thank you in advance for any help,
Regards,
Gary.

Here's an article from JavaWorld describing some of the pitfalls when using Runtime.exec() that might help you:

Can LabView start/call another program such as QuickTime?

Hi,
I want to use my LabView program to start up another program. Is this possible? If so how is it done?
The program I have in mind is QuickTime. Will I be able to pass the name of the file I want it to play as an argument and specify where the new window will open?
Thanks,
Dave.

Hi
You could also place an ActiveX-container in a vi. So you can select a file and set the window position.
Just have a look at the simple attachment.
Hope this helps.

Unable to call another program in servlet

Hi,
I'm developing a Java program in Netweaver. It is a servlet program. External server will call this servlet program to pass the value in and then i use the value and pass to a stateless session bean. But now i'm required to make some change but in certain condition, it will use the value and pass to another servlet in another server.
So i had changed my code as below.
     protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException {
          String xml_response = "";
          String msg = request.getParameter("message").trim();
          FileReader fread = null;
          BufferedReader bread = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("D:\\filter.txt"));
          String line;
          ArrayList moList = new ArrayList();
          while((line = bread.readLine())!=null)
                String[] moNum = line.split(",");
                for(int i=0; i<moNum.length;i++)
                      moList.add(moNum<i>);
        bread.close();
           try {
               xml_response = "700";
               response.setContentType("text/html");
               PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
               out.println("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>");
               out.println("<status>" + xml_response + "</status>");
               out.close();
                        if (moList.contains(ms)) {
                    response.sendRedirect("http://192.168.1.1:50000/adapter/msgtext?sms=" + sms + "&moid=" + mo_id + "&msisdn=" + msisdn);
                        } else {
           } catch ......
I have a xml to response to the server that pass me the value. Need that to inform them i had received the msg. So now i not sure the error is it caused by the XML part. I already close it but when i try to run this i get this error message.

Appreciate if anyone can help. I tried to google and find the error message that is given but unable to find it. What i think of is the XML that cause error. Any idea for this?
Thanks.

Solved.
The XML caused the problem. I need to include the XML in the if statement instead of outside.

Calling another program from a Dynpro screen

Hi,
We have a custom screen to create an equipment. When users click on Save, the screen flow goes into BDC and creates the equipment.
After the equipment is created, we need to execute another custom program to create Measuring points.
How can I call this custom program and still get back to my equipment master screen?
I have coded it as follows but the result is the end result of the measuring point screen and not my original equipment master screen.
SUBMIT ZCREATE_MEASURING_POINTS USING SELECTION-SCREEN '1000'
WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar_tab
AND return.

I have coded it as follows but the result is the end result of the measuring point screen and not my original equipment master scree
Does it mean that you end up in list output of measuring custom program? If so, you have to export this resulting list to memory, which will suppress showing it.
SUBMIT ZCREATE_MEASURING_POINTS USING SELECTION-SCREEN '1000'
WITH SELECTION-TABLE rspar_tab
EXPORTING LIST TO MEMORY
AND return.
This way you will be back on calling program.

Marcin

Calling another program in the print program through FORM ENTRY

Hi All,
Have a requirement that I need to submit the program with variant to a print program.
But it is giving dump "Statement "SUBMIT" is not allowed in this form" while executing through VF04.
I have tried by using CALL FUNCTION "func" in update task .Inside the "func" in I have coded the logic of
submit program using selection-set VARIANT.
Even then while executing through VF04 got the dump "DYNPRO_SEND_IN_BACKGROUND" and "POSTING_ILLEGAL_STATEMENT ".
Kindly advise to resolve the issue.

Hi,
PLease make sure that u r using both smartforms and report..
Once the function called the report program, whether control back to the print program..
Using debugger please check..
put a break-point in your program and find where that dump is arised..
whether u want report only or smartform only...
If the same problem arises again,
Paste your report program code inside the print program instead of using SUBMIT..
let me know what the issue u r facing
regards
vijay

How to call another program from LabVIEW?

Hi!
Is there anyone that can answer my question? I have found a similar thread where the user needed to call labVIEW from some program but I want to do the opposite.
I made a program in labVIEW that communicates via COM-ports (serial communication) with the processor I use at the job (Ubicom´s IP2022).
Now I want to add more funcionality to this program. I want to be able to program re-program IP2022 through this LabVIEW application.
The programming is done via an Ethernet-dongle. I start a program called IP2kProg, I write the ip-address of the dongle and the program-file (.elf) downloads at this address. But how can I do this from
LabVIEW, do I need to open IP2kProg or can I send some values to it via LabViEW?
Ant suggestions?
Thanks, Amir

Amir,
There are couple of options:
1. If your IP2kProg program has a command-line interface, you can use LabVIEW's System Exec.vi and send the commands and parameters to it.
2. If the IP2kProg has an API / exported functions, you can call them from LabVIEW using the Call Library Function Node.
Hope this gives you some ideas.

Call another program in a program

Hi friends,
In my program i have push button when i press that it should go to tcode'cje0' and there is parameter which is a report where we ennter the report name in that transation. I should fill that with rep name "112SAPKL", Than it should display the final screen.All the things should be done in the main program itself. When i press push button final should display.
Rewarded if useful.
Advance thanks
siva kumar.

Hi
Use SUBMIT to call the report
If you know the transaction code then use CALL transaction

Adobe 9 - Installer issue - Calls another program installer?

I can download the program and run the installer just fine. The problem starts when the installer calls ACMSETUP.EXE which calls a startup of my 16-BIT Microsoft ODBC Installer program. I'm not even sure why it's still on my machine, but it is. The Adobe installer seems to be calling it from somewhere and even if I cancel the ODBC install, the Adobe program fails out with no install.
Anyone see this?

I recommend the Acrobat forums. CreatePDF is something quite different. You should also contact the PC supplier for your install disk, it's their job to provide it to you. Good luck!
