Critical details: FrameMaker 8 standalone version on Windows XP.
I have some custom code in DOORS. (DOORS is a requirements mgmt tool for those that don't know). The code is very simple - it just spits out requirements 96-100.
I want FrameMaker to shell out, execute this code, and somehow receive the output from DOORS. The DOORS code execution can be done from a DOS command-line, so if FrameMaker will let me execute DOS commands somehow, this should be easy. The last step is somehow accepting all of the returned info into a variable (or whatever) and then dumping it into my FrameMaker document.
I am guessing this should be pretty easy, but I can't seem to find any documentation that leads me to this capability. Please help if you can. Thanks!
