Suppress Nothing in Range Message with Laser Order, Quote and RMA Acknowledgement

Released Date: 10/20/2017

A new setup flag has been added to Global Setup -> Cop-Func -> Print Order/Quote/RMA:
    23. Show Nothing in Range Msg in Order/Quote/RMA?
See sample screen below:


The default value is "Y."  If you set this flag to "N," then during the printing of the following three laser forms, the "Nothing in Range" message won't appear:
  • Laser Order Acknowledgement 
  • Laser Quote Acknowledgement
  • RMA Acknowledgement
This is intended to help automated scheduling (like on an hourly basis, for example) to print or email these documents since the "Nothing in Range" message interrupts the automated process.

This function is especially needed with the PDF PostOffice feature since the system does not allow deferring of PDF PostOffice documents at this time. Therefore, you are likely to use the Windows Task Schedule to run Elliott with a Macro function to automate the task of sending out emails.  The "Nothing in Range" message box will disrupt the ending of the Elliott Macro so you should set this Global Setup flag to "N" in that scenario.

Modified Programs: NSCTLFIL.FD, NSCTLFIL.W30, NSCTLINI, NSCTLMN5, CPORDPRT.PL, CPORDPRT, CPQUOPrt, CPRMAPRT
