cancel generation from within PT

Hans

Is there a convenient way to cancel page generation from within a PT? Thanks - any help is appreciated.

Doing this in workflow for our situation would be messy.

Can you provide more context to your question? Like provide a scenario in which you need to do this?

Based on some DCR value or combination, such as an approved flag, I don't want to overwrite the current file.

Currently if I check the value and put all the html within an if($flag eq "true") block, a zero length file is still written, effectively clobbering the current file..

The reason I would like to do this in PT vs workflow is a user issue - they like to take shortcuts, dont always follow procedure etc. So the PT would become the last line of defence.

Thanks very much.

The only thing I can think of off the top-of-my-head (other than filing a feature request) would be to use the logic within the PT to read-in the pre-existing file and write it out again - the file's timestamp might get changed but the contents would remain unchanged...

That should work - simple is best.

thanks for your help.

I believe a file is not "modified" if the contents is the same after generation.

iwgen uses the -smartwrite option (of iwpt_compile.ipl) so if you use the suggestion and write out the file exactly as it is, it wont actually get written. Hence the file is left untouch.

It might be possible to set ostream to another temporary file at the beginning of the PT. Then change it back to nominated file only if the DCR passes the required test conditions.

In a similar topic I believe I gave another suggestion - use iwpt_compile and redurect it to /dev/null
