Description
The A5_RUN_SAVED_ZIP_JOB() function runs a saved Zip job. Zip settings are created using the Zip Workspace dialog box (accessed from the Tools > Zip Workspace or Tools > Send Workspace command).
Using this function, a developer could easily create a saved zip setting called "application_files_only" that zipped up all of the application files (omitting all data files), which he could then send to all of his clients. The entire operation could be completely automated.
Example
dim ptr as P ptr = a5_run_saved_zip_job("expressions_test_zip", "Send", "[email protected]", "The latest Expressions Test database", "The database is attached")
