Copy/Paste Run commands in Syzcon

  • 1.  Copy/Paste Run commands in Syzcon

    Posted 12-21-2020 20:53

    I am getting ready to update several customers with the 1099-NEC utility. Some have many companies and they all do 1099's. Is there a way to run the utility for all companies and if not, is there a way to copy and paste the command in syzcon. I can't believe that in this day and age i am expected to type Run "'../utility/ap_update1099s_utl" 200 times. Never mind having to switch companies and File/Run/Syzcon in each.

    I haven't yet used the utility myself but if it uses the current company that was set when SYZCON was launched then i believe you should be able to create a text file, place it somewhere under the MAS90 directory, such as MAS90\CM\Script. In the text file, you'll add a line to set the company code followed by a line to run the utility. So it should look like this. 

    %SYS_SS'SetCompany("ABC")
    Run "..\Utility\ap_update1099s_utl"
    %SYS_SS'SetCompany("ABX")
    Run "..\Utility\ap_update1099s_utl"
    

    This will only work well if the utility doesn't actually have any prompts, if it does, you'll have to babysit it as it runs each time. To kick off the text file, after launching SYZCON and once you are at the prompt, type the following making sure you use either relative or full path to the text file you created.

    perform "..\CM\Script\Update1099sForMulCompanies.txt"

    You can also consider using something like TextExpander or aText

    I use those a ton when need to get quick scripts on servers.

    How quaint is it that a great SaaS company is pushing out nasty looking command-line utilities. How out-of-touch with your customer do you have to be in order not to realize you've priced nearly all single company customers out of your solution. Instead what is left are more complex distribution or companies who can justify the annual 5% price hike because they run the software for 5+ companies. Keep pushing out these nasty looking patch programs and throw the work onto your dwindling number of consultants who work with the solution.

    I'm guessing many of you are already aware, but I was very excited to recently learn how to paste in the ProvideX window (below).  And this will definitely help with the paperless path-change utility!!

    Thank you!  I have a price change utility that prompts for Customer Type and Item Product Line.  I have to type in RUN "PriceChg" like 100 times sometimes.  Always tries right clicking looking for the Paste.  Very happy to know it exists after all these years!

    Yes, I discovered this recently (and was wondering if it was common knowledge).  Very handy for sure.

    Be careful about random clicks in the white space... that moves the cursor, which is probably not a good thing.

    @Brett Zimmerman - I am a little confused over the "paperless path-change utility!!" comment.  Are using the 90M Paperless path change utility that has been available for many years now?  @David Speck II has also published one as well.

    @Brett Zimmerman
    Thanks for the heads up regarding the copy/paste ability.  That will come in quite handy for future needs

    @Jeff Schwenk, I use the one that @Jim Woodhead had created (attached) where you manually type in the path to change 'from' and the path to change 'to'.
