Creating invoice iterating over a database with datatool












0














I'm trying use datatool to iterate over a CSV file in order to create an invoice.



This is what I have:



documentclass[12pt]{letter}

usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
usepackage{textcomp}

usepackage[a4paper]{geometry}
usepackage[british]{babel}

usepackage{datatool}

usepackage{invoice}

DTLloaddb{jan}{jan.csv}

begin{document}

begin{letter} TEST

opening{}

begin{invoice}{euro}{21}
ProjectTitle{Rekening January}%
DTLforeach*{jan}%
{%
Date=date,%
Price=price,%
Quantity=quantity%
}%
{%
Fee{Date}{Price}{Quantity}%
}%
end{invoice}

end{letter}

end{document}


When I compile, I get two "undefined control sequence" about the lines



}%
end{invoice}


What I'm doing wrong?

  • Well you don't show your csv so one can't test your code. But don't use euro (or some other fragile command) in the first argument of invoice. It is fed to a message and will explode. Use better "EUR" or something like this.
