Printing Loop

Hello from Germany,
my question, I hope it is in the right Forum here, is as follows:
I have a number of databases that I want to print. I have a script for the first one of them (shown below) and now I want to do a loop, that prints all the data from 1 to 46 without changing the skript for every database.
 
Sub Main
Call PrintDatabase() ´Datei anhängen1.IMD
End Sub
Function PrintDatabase
Set db=Client.OpenDatabase("Dateien anhängen1.IMD")
db.Print
End Function
 
Thanks for your help.
 

Summarizing by date

Hello,
I'm trying to make a summarize to obtain the minimum date of certain groups, but IDEA only allow me to do it by numeric fields. I would like to know is there is a way in wich I can do that. I'm thinking of converting that field to numeric, doing the summaize, and then rollback the convertion, but I'm not sure if there is a function in IDEA for that.

Is it posible to change the execution time for a script?

Hello Everyone,
 
What I'm trying to do is running an IdeaScript wich calls a python program, that program makes a transformation of the data and then create a csv which is taken by IDEA again. But the problem I have is that IDEA execute the script too fast, so the csv is not generated on time to IDEA. That is the reason why I want to delay the time of execution to give python some time to generate the file that IDEA requests.
