How can we programmatically gnerate an ESCAPE to Stop a Report that is sent to
a PDF Writer?

We can stop by Setting Set ESCAPE ON, then when the Report start spooling, Manually Pressing Escape will stop it.

Is there way to stop it programmatically. The reason for this because a Method in a class is called from a Web Service.

we created a test with a timer class by inserting KEYBOARD "{ESCAPE}" in the Timer Event,
but timer event stop execution as soon as 2nd line of code below start spooling pages:


*-- Send it to Amyuni PDF Converter
oPDFPrinter.DefaultFileName=tcPdfName
REPORT FORM &tcRptName TO PRINTER NOCONSOLE NOWAIT
*-- Next line of code

The objective is to defect if "Report form" is taking more than 2 minutes then stop it and continue to the next line code.



Any help would be appreciated!
