Saving exported DOORS Module

Hello,

I have exported DOORS module into MS Word using DXL automation but unable to save it using DXL.

My requirement is:

DXL should export and save the document into given path/name and close it

Option 1:

Used wordExportSaveDocument but unable to save automatically, Window opens and expects user to click save

Option 2:

Current Issue when i try to save using oleMethod i get error "null OleAutoObj parameter was passed into argument position 1" and execution halts

Please suggest solution, code is attached for reference.

Thanks

Chitra

How is your question different from this one?

Hello Mathias,

Thank you for quick reply. Problem is it's not working. I have tried both methods but document doesn't get saved. I have used the code provided in above link but it doesn't help much and except export process is lengthier than my code. Our documents are huge so it takes time. Also I want to save document in table format and not in book.

Below code keeps throwing warnings/errors saying "null OleAutoObj parameter was passed into argument position 1" and execution halts

OleAutoObj wDocs = null, wDoc = null
OleAutoObj wApp = oleGetAutoObject \"Word.Application\"

olePut (wApp, \"visible\", \"true\")
olePut(wDoc, \"ActiveDocument\", \"true\")
oleGet(wDocs, \"ActiveDocument\", wDoc)

OleAutoArgs args = create()
oleMethod (wDocs, \"Save\", args, wDoc)

put (args, \"d:\\\\" Path "\")
print \"SaveAs:\" 
oleMethod (wDoc, \"SaveAs\", args)
oleMethod(wApp, \"Quit\")

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Where did you get this code from? Both of these lines access null objects (neither wDoc nor wDocs have been set). 

olePut(wDoc, \"ActiveDocument\", \"true\")
oleGet(wDocs, \"ActiveDocument\", wDoc)

The code inside the post you were looking for is probably:

OleAutoObj wApp = oleGetAutoObject \"Word.Application\"
 
olePut (wApp, \"visible\", \"true\")
oleGet(wApp, \"ActiveDocument\", wDoc)
OleAutoArgs args = create()
clear(args)    
put (args, \"d:\\\\" sFullName "\")
oleMethod (wDoc, \"SaveAs\", args)
oleMethod(wDoc, \"Close\")
oleCloseAutoObject(wApp)
oleCloseAutoObject(wDoc)"      

Maybe that helps, regards, Mathias

olePut(wDoc, \"ActiveDocument\", \"true\")
oleGet(wDocs, \"ActiveDocument\", wDoc)

OleAutoObj wApp = oleGetAutoObject \"Word.Application\"
 
olePut (wApp, \"visible\", \"true\")
oleGet(wApp, \"ActiveDocument\", wDoc)
OleAutoArgs args = create()
clear(args)    
put (args, \"d:\\\\" sFullName "\")
oleMethod (wDoc, \"SaveAs\", args)
oleMethod(wDoc, \"Close\")
oleCloseAutoObject(wApp)
oleCloseAutoObject(wDoc)"      

Hi,

It throws "null OleAutoObj parameter was passed into argument position 1" at line OleAutoObj wApp = oleGetAutoObject \"Word.Application\".

I am unable to write above line as OleAutoObj wApp = oleGetAutoObject "Word.Application". It says "undeclared variable (Word)" and same for Application.

is there something i need to add like #include?

I was missing some escaping for the quotes around "Word.Application" in my post. Are you executing the code after your export inside an eval_ ?

Hi,

I am executing this after below lines

doExport theDiag 

if (!null theDiag) destroy theDiag

Now I am not getting error, i could resolve that but still it prompts me to save window where i need to click Save button. Is it possible to automate that? Attached are screen shots.
