Hi,
It is not the exit code that is stored in the field, it is whatever is printed
to STDOUT by the process you call.
If you do the PERFORM-ACTION-ADD-ATTACHMENT in an ACTL, you will definitely
fail, as your file seems to be stored on the server.
This should work for you:
FLTR:
Action 1: Set-Fields: CURRENT TRANS:
tmpchar1 = $PROCESS$ create file "D:\$PerNumb$.pdf"
Action 2: Set-Fields: CURRENT TRANS:
tmpchar2 = $PROCESS$ PERFORM-ACTION-ADD-ATTACHMENT 617001300
"D:\$PerNumb$.pdf"
