Generating statistics reports

You can retrieve and report information about documents to be post-processed. The information can be written to a separate file or a repository. You must use scripting to retrieve and report the information. For example, you can use the following script functions to retrieve statistics information:

•	GetEnvelNr

•	GetMailMachine

•	ConnectorPageActual

Note:

The GetDocSheetCount function can only be used if you have specified a mailing machine. See Defining mailing machines.

To write or store the retrieved information you can, for example, use the following script functions:

•

FileOpen

•

FileWrite

•	OdbcConnect

•	OdbcExecute

Note:

To use Post-processor scripting to insert or skip pages, you must specify a sort variable or a mailing machine.

Example 2

Script that generates number of sheets per mailing machine

$mailmachine = "Sheets to mailingmachine" + "<20>" + GetMailMachine() + "<3a><20>";

$pagecount = ConnectorPageActual(); 

fileopen("Statistics\pagecount.txt","a");

filewrite("Statistics\pagecount.txt",$mailmachine + $pagecount  + "<0d><0a>" + "<0d><0a>");

This can result in the following rows in the statistics file:

Sheets to mailingmachine Invoice: 24

Sheets to mailingmachine Overflow: 16
